Etymology
The homburg hat has a storied history, initially gaining prominence in the 19th century. Its name is derived from the German town of Homburg vor der Hรถhe, where it is believed to have originated. The hat was famously worn by Edward VII, the King of the United Kingdom, which contributed to its peak popularity in the early 1900s. The design features a slightly raised and rolled brim, with a creased crown, and it quickly became a symbol of upper-class fashion. Over the years, it has been embraced in various cultural contexts, from the British aristocracy to Hollywood icons, solidifying its status as a timeless piece of formal attire.
