A real beauty, Stefan.

Borsalino Landasca 40 1/2 homburg in Dattero colour. Size 56 with the bound brim at 6cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Dattero is such a great colour that I had to buy this one. It is very soft, which is unexpected for a homburg, and has a lovely hand to the felt.

Anton Peschel Dinkelsbühl "Diplomat" "Reiner Haarhut" "Tornado", 58 cm possibly late 1950s. The Smooth Finish Gray (Dural) Felt is of medium weight and easily dry creases. A mid width Band with a sharp looking Bow design.

A beauty, Steve! Love the contrasting light grey binding.

@panos: Do I remember correctly, that you found a very similar grey one with 'Tornado' logo at the sweat but no makers label, that I got for you?

A real beauty, Stefan.

Thank you, Randy. I have plenty of brown homburg hats, but I'm still happy to add this one.

Lovely hat and unusual to see a dark brim binding. Love the coat as well.

Anyone know the story with the “Long” line of hats? I’m a fan of Adam hats and have seen many of these Long branded hats, but never knew their significance, or hierarchy.
The felt of this hat feels of high quality.

Beautiful looking homburg, Randall. Classic lines and quality finishing by the looks of it.

Wonderful shape, Randall. Beautiful liner.

Thanks, Stefan and Steve. The felt seems just a smidge better in felt quality then this Adam Executive that I’ve had for a long while.
And on the outside appear to have been made on the same day by the same hands…

Matt, Thank you! It would be interesting to see that hat.

Matt, Thank you! It would be interesting to see that hat.

I think Matt is referring to this "Torero"
I only have the auction pics from Matt

It came with a Mayser homburg of same size, could also be German etc. I'll need to check for additional clues if any.

Panos, Thank you! I don't believe I have seen the "Torero" brand before. The band and binding material type is interesting.

Yes, of course you're right, Panos: I meant this TORERO! But with TORNADO I was at least close (oh man, I should probably drink less and eat more vegetables to stay mentally fitter).

Anton Peschel Dinkelsbühl "Norma", 59 cm, early 1960s.

One of the hats bought in 2022 left waiting to be shown to fellow FL.

It is a particular hat for the Italian market due to its shape and colour

Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore size 6 French point, 59 cm. EU or 7 3/8 in US.

The shape is that of a lobbia or homburg with the brims curled and short, without a ribbon to edge them. What is called Lord hat often here. The ribbon is the same color as the felt.

Gulaela is the type in the Borsalino denomination, Cafro is the color indicated, but it is particularly reddish compared to a Borsalino of the same color that I wore a few weeks ago. Borsalino mysteries.

The hat is very light and above all particularly well preserved.

Measurements are: the brim at 5cm, the ribbon at 4cm and the open crown at 13.5cm.
This is one of my favorites in the Borsalino collection, without a doubt

Daniele, Fantastic! The color is really special. Also great form.

Thanks Steve, this is a special one.
Your Anton Peschel "Norma" is fine. A good companion for all the homburgs you posted here

Hutfabrik Heinrich Schneider, "Taunus Hut", possibly early 1960s. This is very nice made later Homburg. The felt and components are various shades of brown. The liner is stitched in but there is no paper label. I had a couple other HHS hats but unfortunately not well documented.

A great comedy film from Italy, "The Widower" (1959) is replete with homburgs ("Lobbia", in Italian).
