Gentlemen and all dedicated PoW wearers,
Your hat will soon be available on thelondonlounge.net Limited Editions, please take a moment to study it:
A beige, soft crowned Homburg has been found in the archives of a venerable London maker and will soon be re-edited for our members. Your comments are appreciated. Pictures to follow.

I like it.
I hope that it has a smallish crown which is better suited for me.
It is impossible to buy a homburg that isn't either black or grey.
Perhaps we can get Max into one?

If My choices were only black or grey I would turn blue.
I'm partial to the brown Homburgs.
Nice looking hat

The homburg in the pic is a vintatge. I believe it to be 1930's,. Made by a company called Adam Hats.

Matt, I like your hat and your look.
You have done an excellent job of duplicating the look of the 1940's. Your photo recalls a the look of Patrick Knowles at Universal Pictures in the 1940's.
Cheers.

Yes!
Kudos to Matt for consistently being generous with his photos and for revealing himself.
As well as developing a distinctive style and outlook!

Wasn't Adam hats originally established to control the rising price of hats by being a lower priced hat seller?

Mark:
I'll wear a homburg only if Dopey does so first. I wonder if beige would go well with with Lessers HL26160?

I have a gray homburg for that suit (raw, rather than bound edge).
I intended the hat for more formal use than the suit will mostly see, and don’t expect to wear it during the day time except for to a wedding. In the unlikely event that I wear it for business, I will let you know.
