You're welcome Spike and no apologies necessary. Some nice looking Tirolehüte you have there.

Back to the real homburgs.
Mayser Spezial homburg in grey. Size 58 with the brim at about 6cm and the crown a substantial 12cm at the center dent. An older one it seems, judging by the liner and sweatband. Late forties or early fifties I think. Sold by Albert Wentzel of Lünen, Germany. From what I gather the shop lasted from 1855 for about a hundred years.

Great looking Mayser Homburg, Stefan. That's quite a tall crown. Extra pondus to a hat already with a lot of it.Back to the real homburgs.

Some from me as well that I haven't posted here.
Mallory homburg in dark blue (almost black).
Crown at 12.5cm at dent and brim at 6.2cm. Felt is very malleable and soft but also thick. One of my most warm hats for the Norwegian winter
Next, Cavanagh twenty homburg with thin brim binding, black
Condition is never worn. Crown at 12cm at dent and brim at 6.5cm. Wonderful proportions and style, love it!
Many, many thanks to the fantastic enabler Brent for these two !!
Third one is a mystery to me. Bought at the local vintage market for a price I couldn't resist Monark black homburg made (imported?) for the Norwegian market and sold in Oslo.
Crown at 11.5cm at dent and brim at 5.5cm. Condition is never worn and felt surprisingly nice and dence. Any ideas about the brand ?

Mallory seemed to have some fine colors for their liners. I believe mine has red.

Thanks! Indeed and on top of the unique color, mallory liner feels also heavy duty. Insulation in and out

Wow, Panos! 4 super Fedoras, now 3 great looking Homburgs! I'm with Joe re the liners on the Mallory and Monark. As far as the latter is concerned, can't help you with any info I'm afraid. It's a new one on me, too. Nevertheless, a nice find.Some from me as well that I haven't posted here.

After church today. I wore the grey Cavanagh Homburg, with pinches and a center crease.
Those are some magnificent additions to the homburg nation, Panos. Fantastic hats! I love the Monark.Some from me as well that I haven't posted here.

Thanks, Doug. Good to see you sporting yours. With the side dents you prove they are more versatile and not necessarily a formal hat. Suits you well.

Many thanks for your kind words Stefan, I appreciate it
Although next to the big names, Monark steals the show so far Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
It does, and next to a Mallory and a Cavanagh that's saying something! Came across a similar situation last friday when I found a black homburg branded Wotan. Pre-war with a really cool liner and sweatband. Should have taken that one with me (damn).Many thanks for your kind words Stefan, I appreciate it
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Pre-war, cool liner and sweat, named Wotan, and you didn't buy it, Stefan. I say damn, too. Sounds like one to have no matter the size. Ah well, we live and learn
Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk
Don't know what I was thinking, but it probably was something like "very cool, pity it's in black". These hats sometimes stick around, so who knows? Here's one I did bring though.
Milano homburg in brown. Not much to go on, because there's only a partial label. Italian made, but unclear by which manufacturer. The felt and finishing are excellent and the proportions are appealing with the brim at 6cm and the crown at 11,5cm. There's a wonderful warm reddish tone to the felt.
