This vintage homburg was made in the mid to late 1930s.  The sweatband is marked “Merit – Mello Fit – New York”.  The liner is marked “Parkway Felts – designed for Harry Harrold Hatter, Trenton”.  The felt and ribbon are in nice condition, but the unreeded sweatband has dropped most of its stitches.

This vintage hat was made in the 1910s by the Miller- Allaire company of New York. It has a “United Hatters” union tag, which was replaced by the “United Hatters Caps and Milliners” label in 1934, dating it before that point. It is a transitional soft style, somewhere in between a fedora and a homburg.  The brim doesn’t have a full homburg curl, it’s slightly more relaxed.  It has a wide silk ribbon with a bold bow.  The sweatband is unreeded, with all stitching in tact. The leather is a bit dry, but there is no damage.  The felt is in very good condition- I do not see any moth bites.

This vintage homburg was made, probably in the early 1930s, by the Crofut and Knapp Co. of Firth Ave. NY and retailed by Levi Strauss and Company, Indianapolis.  The model name looks like it’s the “Province”.  It has a wide brown leather unreeded sweatband, which, in typical fashion, has dropped stitches for about two inches near the rear seam.  It has a nice early ’30s twisted knot to the bow.  The reorder tag is a Dobbs, but both products were made by HatCo in the same factories, so that makes perfect sense.  The size tag looks like it reads 7-1/4, but the hat measures out to a 7-1/8.
