coolThanks for the info! The crown is much lower than expected. You got it! I think it would look much better when choice of clothing is more 'uptempo'.

Fantastic! Looks good in the sunshine. Congratulations a real find this side of the pond.Thanks for the info! The crown is much lower than expected. You got it! I think it would look much better when choice of clothing is more 'uptempo'.
While hathunting yesterday I found this one. Echter Mayser in black (does seem to have a blue tone under certain lighting conditions), size 59 (not my size). Raw edge brim at 5,8 cm and crown 11,5cm at the pinch. It was the gorgeous liner and the thin felt that sold me on it. The liner is a deep winered colour. Just a very nice example of a Mayser hat. Sold by Joh. Zehme of München. Form seems to say "Delia" and qualität: "Haum", but it's hard to read. More to come.
Another find in yesterdays' hathunt. Marke Greif in black, size 56. Bound brim at 6cm and crown 10,5cm at the pinch. Felt quality and make won me over (at 15 euro it didn't take too much convincing). If I read the label correctly it would be model Bonn, finish Opal and colour schwarz. Couldn't find anything on Marke Greif, but maybe I wasn't searching hard enough. Found quite a few interesting hats at the start of the fall-season, but mostly homburgs in black (of which I have more than enough). This one I haven't seen before, so why not.

quality looking piece
Karl, thanks. It is. Problem most of the time is that quite a few of the hats I find are. Much as I'd like to I just can't save them all.

Stefan, Super finds! Is the liner glued into the Mayser?

Stefan, Looks great. Looks like it might be related to the trademark Windsor Hats. Did it have a wind cord (see below Bow knot)?

not the worst problem to have!
Steve, thanks. At first I thought it was not attached at all, but it is glued in two places.
Steve, good call. I hadn't noticed that before. It seems to have had a windcord at one time.
Last of the German and Austrian (because this one is) finds of this week. I saved the best for last. J. Heinr. ITA homburg in brown. No idea about the size because there are no labels at all inside the hat. I had to stretch it a little to fit me, so I'm guessing a size 56 or even a 55. Bound brim at 5.7cm and crown 10,5cm at the pinch. No liner, just a crown patch made of paper (ususally made of cloth). The finishing on this hat is a bit sparse, but the felt is very smooth and soft and the ribbon colour and treatment is very nice. No idea about the age.

nice colour
Another beautiful Homburg. You're a genius at finding them.

Karl, thanks. It's a great hat but if I compare it to the Resolut homburg hat I bought recently, the Resolut would win.
Steve, thanks. I'm lucky to live close to Amsterdam, where there are several vintage clothing shops who carry hats. It's not their main focus and they don't treat them very well, but at the same time it means they sell them at low prices.
Nice. There's a shop like that where I live, Elsinore in Denmark. I've found some nice hats, but nothing compared to your beauties.
I'm in Berlin at the minute, but can't find anything here.
