Resistol Homburg 7 3/8 Extra Long Oval

[Brad Bowers]

Since my collection has become focused on C&K/Cavanagh/Dobbs, I'm cleaning out my closet of hats I don't wear or need. I wanted to offer them to Loungers first, before I put them on eBay.

Resistol Homburg, Downing Street model, black
Size: 7 3/8 Extra Long Oval
5 1/2-inch crown
22-ligne ribbon (1 7/8 inch)
2 1/4-inch effective brim
2 3/4-inch actual brim
Wind Trolley
Very good condition
Best estimate at age is from the '50s.

$75 shipped to USA addresses

These labels come with the hat, but they had long since fallen out:

I'm also including a new hat box:

I'll also be offering a brown MacLachlan Homburg, size 7 1/2, but I need to tighten the ribbon first.

Brad, that's a beauty. If I didn't look so silly in Homburgs, I'd snap it up.

No other long ovals I'm getting rid of. The only other hat I'm selling is the MacLachlan I mentioned. Everything else fits my collecting pattern, with the exception of a '40s Borsalino, and I can't bring myself to part with it.

Brad,

How dark is the brown?

It's darker than most browns you see today, more like a cocoa brown. I'll get it posted soon.
