Now, is that a Whippet?

 

[Flitcraft]

Yessir, That's a Whippet!
Great price, too- especially for a size that large!

a very nice Stetson Sovereign. Nice find! :eusa_clap

 

[Bud-n-Texas]

It is a homburg, not a Whippet.

Yep, Bud is right.

 

[jake_fink]

It's a homburg, not a whippet. Looks to be 50s or early 60s.

It is a homburg, not a Whippet.

And a darned nice one, too! Let us see photos when you get it.

Way to go on the homburg! A class hat!

They're selling hamburgs on ebaY?

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Gentlemen, thank you for your kind words and the clarification of style. It popped up on a search and WHAM! I bought it.

I will most definitely post pictures upon arrival. In fact I owe the FL community numerous photos of not just this purchase, but of the Open Road, my Stratoliner, the fitty cent Akubra, and the impending chapeau provided to me, via BCF, by Dean.

Again, thanks.

Ah, now, don't get cheesy!

When your homburg arrives, how about this bash?:

I think it has nice lines for a homburg. I like the time period, too.

I have had two dealings with your seller, one for my absolute favorite stingy hat from the '60s (NOS), another for a perfect Schott Perfecto moto jacket like Brando wore. Great guy who always has top-notch stuff. If he's selling it, you can bank on it. Great cat.

When your homburg arrives, how about this bash?:

That is the ultimate bash for a homburg! Note too the curled-up brim. It's a cross between a traditional homburg and a bowler hat, and I like it!

Has much more style than the regular flat-brimmed homburg.

Bernie Utz? I've bought hats from Bernie Utz. They don't carry enough Ladies hats, of course, but a nice shop and they've been in Seattle forever.

Good Buy, Sir!

I like the pinch, but that bowing, well, quite frankly, scares the heck out of me!

Dean the photo you posted looks a bit like mine. I can not pull off the flat brim standard homburg. So I developed my own style. Some of the purist around here were very offended, such is life.

I completely dig that crown. Awesome!

I dig it too. It's like 2 hats in one.
