Very nice Habig Steve.

That topper looks capital on you Alan.

Thanks Perry. I think the earlier ones have a nicer profile... but this one is a good fit.

Steve - that is quite a steal... well done!

Mike, Perry, Alan, Thanks! I ran into some good luck with this one.

Alan, Not sure how I missed your pristine / beautiful Collins & Fairbanks silk plush top hat c.1920s Topper! Also your Dunlap Wanderer is really fantastic. What amazing felt!

Maybe Halloween Alan, the opera is a bit over the top of my simple sense. Funny what you find when you google "top hat":

Timing is a funny thing... I had also "Goo-goo'd" top hat a couple of days ago, thinking ahead to my daughter's upcoming wedding. In forum of "What to wear with a top hat," the comment was made that "Mr. Peanut wears a top hat, and he doesn't even wear pants!"

Hey Robert - how hard did that leather jacket fight to stop you from putting that tweed hat on? A jacket that nice deserves a felt lid!!!

 

[mayserwegener]

Robert, Is that an Italian make?

 

[rlk]

The hat is French while the jacket is French or German--Zipper is from Alsace.
I switched to a cap after the photo as winds are gusting to 35 mph and even a short brim becomes a flying saucer.

 

[alanfgag]

In this case, a flying saucisse.

I like this backdrop, Robert.

Alan, Not sure how I missed your pristine / beautiful Collins & Fairbanks silk plush top hat c.1920s Topper! Also your Dunlap Wanderer is really fantastic. What amazing felt!

Steve, thank you!

My recently bought, Stetson Deluxe ST Regis 1940 from Alan! I think I have never shown a picture of it.
Thank you again Alan, one of my favorite Homburger.

Very, very nice Manfred and you wear it well, saw a post of you wearing it somewhere. Fantastic condition that you must be proud of. Love seeing vintage hats like this.

 

[Earl Needham]

Nice one! I really like the shape, and the edge.

 

[alanfgag]

Great photos, Manfred... thanks for posting. I don't believe I ever posted photos of it. So glad this one found a good home with another homburg enthusiast.

(We have to remember to keep quiet about how wonderful these hats are so they stay at bargain prices.)

 

[Chepstow]

Mike ,Earl and Alan, thank you guys, for the kind words! it's truly a treasure of hat making,
and one of my oldest and best hats!

 

[mayserwegener]

Manfred, Beautiful Homburg! I really like contrasting ribbon and binding colors. Also in pristine condition!

 

[seabass]

Nice St Regis Chepstow...
Love the extra curl on the brim with the cool color on the wider brim edging

 

[BR Gordon]

Great homburg, love the color and the crown and brim ribbon details.

 

[Chepstow]

Steve, Che and BR, thanks so much for your kind words and comments! I appreciate them all!
You have so right with that what you say, the edge binding color is a great looking accent!
