Trying to put a date to this knox homberg

[Tberns34]

I picked this up at an antique store and would like some help putting an age to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I read a couple of threads that lead me to believe it's probably 50s or 60s,but I'm no expert.

Nice little “Madison Avenue,” T! I have one myself. It’s not a homburg, but a slim brim fedora from the mid 1960s. Think “Don Draper,” from “Mad Men.”

Great lid! Enjoy it.

Thank you kindly for the quick reply! I tight the curled brim and overall stiffness would make it a homburg. Still kind of new to fine hats so I'm not a hundred percent sure how to tell the difference.

hatsRme has you covered on what it is for sure. You can tell it's 60s era because of the black sweatband, stingy brim, and plastic tipped liner (although some earlier hats can be found that have some of those things as well).

The homburg/fedora distinction comes from the fact that the edge of a homburg has a binding on it and is curled in a d'Orsay curl. Your hat has no edge binding, but does have a welted edge.

Enjoy it!

Yes, as others said, it’s a snap-brim fedora, not a homburg, and I’d from the mid- to late-‘60s.

Also, a D’Orsay curl is completely different from a homburg curl. D’Orsay curls are only found on Derbies and silk top hats.

My bad on the terminology, although I was basing it off things I've read on the internet and here on this forum (specifically this comment: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/is-there-a-name-for-this-brim-edge-curl.77066/#post-1780715)
