Homburg (hat)
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The homburg is a stiff felt hat with a crease along the length of the crown and no pinches, and has a brim with the edge sharply turned up all the way around. They are typically made from wool or fur felt and have a grosgrain hatband with an optional feather. It was popularized by Edward VII after visiting Germany and bringing back a hat of this style. Like the fedora, the homburg was once quite popular and is still available in almost any color, but the most common colors are black, grey, and brown.
