I like the look of these Einars. The colours are really striking.

Seems like I've seen this tip logo before. Maybe it is just the knight's helmet. I'll get on the Plaza Hats, maybe we can do some dating from that.Recent addition to growing Homburg collection.

I have only one other Homburg besides this Stetson St Regis which came in the mail today. Not a style I wear often, I am warming to the look slowly after a few years...
This has been worn, but well cared for. Clean, very nice felt, it is also my first Royal Deluxe in a vintage Stetson. I love the original liner found in the St Regis. Unfortunately, this one has been replaced at some point and this crisp, clean replacement was taped into place with millinery/fabric tape; not sewn as an original would be. The price was right, though.
It came open crown but easily/naturally creased to a diamond with medium front pinches. The standard center dent without pinches didn't work well and seemed forced, so I let the felt go the way it wanted.
The color is close to pecan beaver felt, but with a nearly, subtle moss green hue to it. The crown ribbon closely matches the felt, but the brim binding is more of a contrasting tan/light bronze color.

Thank you kindly! Its a lot of fun to make too. Just waiting for another customer to make me create a different color mix.

Thanks so much for the possible lead...I'll do some research too! Obviously, there were an unlimited hatters during the 40s-50s - known and unknown! Couldn't resist the price and the apparent quality!

It does look that way! I noticed that also! If it is, it does have a nice contrasting touch!

It is a sweet 'Burg. Did some preliminary searching for the Hatter in NY. Need a deeper dig.

Yup. I did as well. The address is now a newer building that has a pharmacy store at the address. The area is now considered a part of Chinatown.
