Wegener "Seal" with side vents and mesh liner has been a great travel hat, probably late 1950s.

Currently in Marienbad / Mariánské Lázně, Czech Republic. One of Edward VII (of Homburg fame) favorite places.

Steve looks like your traveling in style and first class accommodations as well. The Mexican restaurant was a bit of a shock to see I bet. Great to see history still standing proud and appreciated

Size 59 cm (7 3/8) top quality "Echt Mayser - Superbe".
Sold by "Hut Zehme" Munich.
Dated 21. December 1952.
Pristine condition.
Khaki furfelt.

It has a flanged brim with edge-binding that snaps up and down very nicely.

Works both as a Homburg with turned up brim or as a Fedora with the front snapped down!

It is a bit too small for my 60-61 cm head... if someone is interested in this rare and versatile lid, let me know!

Thanks guys... too bad that it doesn't quite fit my 60/61 cm head.

Perhaps someone else here can give this Homburg-Fedora a place on his head:
