Pictures of my Stetson Sovereign Homburg

Boston has a very well known vintage store called Bobby from Boston. It's on GQ's 100 Best Stores list. I visited this afternoon for the first time. They had a nice little hat section. They had some truly vintage fedoras with beautiful, soft, buttery felt. But they were all too small for me.

I did find this really cool Homburg. You guys can tell me for sure, but my hunch is that it's quite modern. I'm guessing 80s at the oldest. I bought it mostly because of the hat store it came from - Meyer the Hatter. I grew up in New Orleans, so that was very special to me. The hat card inside is very cool too.

I have been thinking about midnight blue Homburg. So finding one in my size from my home town...I just had to go for it. It was $50. Not a bargain, but not a lot of cash laid out either.

My wife went to bed early, so I'll have to get her to take a picture of me wearing it tomorrow.

Very nice indeed!!!

An excellent find, sir.

Nice find, Karl. Looks really nice. Will be looking forward to seeing you under it.

Tremendous find, K.

Very nice indeed. I think the classic homburg tyle, as opposed to the more "jazzed up" modern rendition, is my favorite hat. Great history and story as well!

P.S.--Of the non-westerns that is....

Awesome Hat!...

and $50.00 really isn't so bad- I think you got a pretty good score there, my friend!

I would have to agree that's a nice find. I'm really needing to add a fur felt Homburg to my wardrobe-notice I said needing, as looking at it that way seems to justify my "investment" to those who may pose the question, "John, do you really need another hat?" So when I respond with, "Yes, by golly, I do need a Homburg!" I can feel like I'm not fibbing... Once again, congrats on a nice lid.

Really beautiful Homburg! I think you got a bargain at $50. Enjoy.
