Vintage 1940s Homburg by Stetson


This is a vintage Royal Stetson Homburg from the 1940s.

The felt feels like the softest cashmere to the hand. The quality is divine.


True to homburg design, the hat features a deep center crease in the tall crown. It has a firm, upturned brim that is edged with slightly contrasting silk grosgrain. A warm black silk grosgrain band surrounds the crown, and finished with a sharp bow.

This beaver hat dates to between 1945-1947 by its unique label. It is an exquisite example of a post World War II homburg.
