Straw Homburg

[farmerbaker]

Recently, there were some pics posted of a straw Homburg. Can the member who posted these please post them again? I found them in a thread but only 3 pics would load. I would really like to see the other 3 pics. Also, if anyone else has pics of a straw Homburg I would like to see them. Any ideas where I can have one of these made?

I'm sure if you got a panama hat body, one (or more) of the hatters here on the Lounge would be able to accommodate you. I think there are some panama Homburgs commercially available, too.

I didn't know that Shantung was paper. Thanks for the info.

Shantung is in fact paper . But it is very strong . Dobbs makes a natural color straw homburg . We do carry it on our site . There isn't as much demand for them today as there was years ago .

Biltmore makes a milan homburg in a lot of colors that is pretty nice. There are also a few different versions of the Eldorado. There is the Shantung and there is a Milan but they are both restricted to Natural, Grey, and Black.

I think Optimo in Chicago has the REAL milan straw. Most others tend to be Japanese hemp or even paper.
