Petro, felt-hat, Leopard design, of the Selentino Collection, made of the finest Fur-felt quality, with a Velour finish. Leopard design,
A homburg is a felt hat characterized by a single dent running down the center of the crown and
a brim fixed in a tight, upwards curl. It is superficially similar to the trilby and fedora; however, those types of hat have soft, snappable brims and can have
various designs pinched into the crown, whereas the shape of a homburg is
fixed.The homburg is typically made from wool or fur felt and has a grosgrain hatband and brim treatment with an optional feather. A variant form is the "lord's hat", and
may, optionally, be pinched.It was popularized by Edward VII after he visited Bad Homburg in Hesse, Germany, and brought back a hat of this style. Like the trilby or 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. In Britain a black homburg became widely known in the 1930s as an "Anthony Eden" after the Government Minister of that name.
