Emerging in the early 1900s. the Homburg hat gained popularity when King Edward returned from the German town of Bad Homburg. showcasing a sleek design with a hand curled brim and a soft crown. From there. it swiftly became the preferred headwear for the elite. standing elegantly between the formality of the top hat and bowler. Today. the Homburg enjoys renewed attention. as vintage styles from the 1920s and 1930s return to the forefront of fashion.
