Vintage Homburg Style Hat Made in Paris by Willoughby Hatters

This hat truly exhibits the superb characteristics expected in a fine quality hat made for the most discriminating man! When you touch this hat, you will instantly be amazed at how soft the hat feels....almost like the best velour or velvet! It is made from the finest quality real fur in the most rich, warm shade of brown and is extremely lightweight offering supreme comfort for the wearer. The outer finished edge of the brim is so wonderfully turned over and stitched that one hardly is even aware of this finished detail. The inside of this hat is satin finished and the hatband appears to be hand stitched. The outer hatband is made from a matching brown grosgrain ribbon and has a flat bow tie detail at the back of the hat. According to the inner lining stamp, the style of this hat is "Prince III". A gentleman's hat of the finest kind!

P.S. Since this is a relatively small hat, it could easily be worn by a trendy lady!

Condition: Excellent

There are no stains on this hat, as are often present on men's hats....most men having fewer hats than ladies and wearing them much more often! The inside is exceptionally clean with no odors. The only issue that I can note is that there are two slight areas in the inner hatband (one at the rear of the hatband where it is joined and the other on the side right near where it is stamped "Finest Quality Real Fur"). Both of these areas seemed to be more from aging of the material used in the hatband than from actual wear. There are so few signs of wear on this hat that I tend to say this would be the case. Please note that I have photographed this hat with the crown pushed up in most of the photos in order that the crown may be viewed more closely. The last photo does show the hat with a crease in the middle of the crown.
