This hat runs the casual end of homburgs. Brown, front dents, rust colored binding. I got this and a similarly colored Stetson Flagship in trade for a thin ribbon 1950s Mallory, which suited, and fit the client much better.

This homburg has lost its liner and sweatband, but bears the old style union tag, which dates it from the early ’30s or before.

This Royal Stetson homburg was made in the 1930s and has all those great deep ’30s imprints in the sweatband leather. It also bears a rare period sticker from New York’s famous “Stork Club”
This hat is probably from the 1960s, but it really channels hats of the turn of the century. It has a center creased crown, with a short-ish pencil curled raw edge brim. Sort of a western homburg. The ribbon work is also in the style of an earlier period, wide, but with a bow similar to those found on Stetson Open Roads.
