Brüder Böhm "Luxor" probably late 1930s. This one is made of wool which was common for the time and place. I have only come across two B.B. Soft Felts in my size after looking for years. This one is from my May 2016 Czech find.
The hat was not stretched. I believe the sweatband is made of a coated canvas.
B.B. Hat Holder with original B.B. paper Size Tag for this hat.
Yeah, cleanliness is going to be an issue. Dirt and grime is what gives a hat character, right?
happens to all of us
I'd like to personally blame
Alan
Eric
Perry
Harv
Rick
Jim
Charlie
Tommy
etc for my addictions escalation upon joining
You had better get used to that!
I have learned to not to trust that either!
love's a two way street big dog
That is a beautiful hat. Looks great on you, E.By trying to steal your hats?
Of all the outstanding examples here I feel like yours are the one I'd like to "steal" the most.
Well, Alan's... I think my heart would skip a few beats if I'd ever get a peek at his collection.
Bows are all on the wrong side though
I'm sorry to be so boring but this hat ain't leaving my head.
It fits like a glove and so light I forget I'm actually wearing it.
Esther, really? I'm so elegant...
glad you dissected the street lingo

Third day of rain and fog, perfect for a homburg!
Diplomatique Tirard (France) from the forty of fifties
High and fat crown with large brim with matching ribbon and bow
The shade of blue and grey is well done under a grey day
One of my beloved homburg from my reserve
Thanks for the likes on the G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro....the story goes on with others "surprises"
Throwing my hat into the ring (I've actually never used that expression here before!) with one that was NEVER CONNECTED IN ANY WAY, a Stephen L. Stetson.
Very, VERY nice Chas!
Nice wide sweat, looks early! Love the color and the lines of this one.
