randooch, Great Hom ! & the color pops out. Is it a cobalt blue?Apropos of this discussion, here's my 30's Stetson Standard Quality, dents added. I really like it.

Beautiful, Manfred, a nice present to find under the Christmas tree! It appears to be of '50s vintage based upon what I can discern from the sweatband and liner crest.
Didn't know if anyone had spotted this yet but Bates Hatters now have this wonderful looking tall homburg on their site. The site has also had somewhat of a facelift.
Seabass, it's a true black, but you're right: the picture shows deep blue. Not sure why, when no flash was involved.

Just arrived from ejb-- Lee silver label homburg in "dusty sage." Here's a quick just-outta-da-box shot.
More detail and comparisons to come. I love this color and it feels like it was made for my head. It has identical dimensions as my Brown Belamey 'Burg (only the Lee is a long oval), and I plan on swooping the brim a bit, just as I did on the Belamey. Also it's the same wonderful color as the old moth-eaten Biltmore I got rid of last summer.
Thanks, ejb!
Almost identical specs.
The finish on the Lee is a tad smoother, softer and more supple. The Belamey seems to have a bit more shellac in the felt, though both must be dense felt since they hold a dry crease famously.
