Interesting ribbon - very puglike. I think you pulled the trigger on a great deal.

You should be able to get lots of good deals in that size I see a lot of 7s out there!

Remember, Whippets and Playboys were the most popular hat styles of the most popular hat maker for about 30 years...

Not at all rare, just expensive.

Its a Homburg with a Whippet liner and falling out sweatband.

maybe because it's a Homburg?

The other two are probably the same color of gray-always distorted by photographers that don't watch the lighting conditions and proper camera settings. The seller used the description on the Champ box that had no association with the hat inside.

I didn't realize that was a Homburg.

Would a whippet come in a champ box when sold new?

The retailer could put it in any box potentially, but so could the owner/s of the subsequent years.

The box says Harmony blue and the hat is grey,

Look a couple of posts up--I pulled out two of the photos(for color issues). Some hats were shipped in individual boxes and some in multiple hat containers. The Champ is a factory box for a specific hat rather than a retailer's own or generic maker's box.
