Heritage Collection 1900s Homburg |
---|
Made in the USA About the time of Bollman Hat Company's Founder's death in 1900 and beginning of the leadership of his son George W. Bollman, the Homburg hat was taking its place in hat style history. Popularized in England by Edward VII after visiting Germany and bringing one back as a keepsake, the Homburg is one of the oldest formally-styled hats. As the King of England from 1901 to 1910, Edward was known as "The Peacemaker" for his efforts in fostering good relations between England and other European countries. Perhaps the Homburg was a perk of the King's diplomatic successes, but the style enjoyed its own surprising success in Great Britain and in America. The Homburg resurfaced in the 1970's as the "Godfather" and eventually became an early staple of the hip-hop movement. The Bollman Hat Company contributed its own color and flair during each phase of the Homburg's evolution. Bollman was integral to developing the style's current counter-cultural appeal by creating a variety of diverse colors including sugar pink, burnt orange, lime green and lemon yellow. Approx. 4 1/4" Center Dent Crown 2 3/4" Curled Brim Made of: 100% Wool Felt Printed Leather Sweatband Custom 140th Lining Sizes: S, M, L, and XL; fits true to size. |

Heritage Collection 1970s Boogie |
---|
Made in the USA Known as the "Me Decade", the 1970's strayed heavily from the socially-active movements of the Sixties, gravitating more towards eccentric lifestyles and pleasure-seeking patterns of behavior. Hard rock, pet rocks, glitter, platform shoes, disco, bell bottoms, and feminism ruled the era. Accordingly, Bollman made some of its most outlandish and extreme designs during this decadent decade. These were hats that screamed "Look at me!", and most people looked. They featured bright colors, ornate trims and wild feathers. Often times, on par with the popular expressions of the day, the best sellers were the designs that looked the most eccentric and peculiar. "Thank God we don't have to wear them all" was often heard as these wild hats came down the trim lines in the men's department at Bollman Hat Company. Approx. 4" C-Crown (Teardrop) 3" Snap Brim Made of: 100% Wool Felt Made in the USA Leopard Print Hat Band Ostrich Feather Accent Leather Print Sweatband Custom 140th Lining Size(s): S, M, L and XL - Fits true to size. |
