Popularised in the 1950s, the Homburg Hat is truly iconic. Made from premium, super-smooth furfelt. The 'kettle curl' brim is trimmed with grosgrain ribbon. The crown is finished with a classic band and Laird’s ‘signature’ bow fold. An elegant, semi-stiff hat that can be worn both as formal wear or part of an everyday modern take on a classic style. Winston Churchill was famously a historic advocate of the Homburg hat.

Also known as White Top Hat and the Grey Drab Top Hat - synonymous as the hat worn with the Morning Suit as the Wedding Hat of choice. The Laird Grey Top Hat is made from super smooth Furfelt, brushed to feel luxuriously soft. This is a top hat so shorter in crow height than the Topper (see Topper Melusine) but a classic choice for that Special Occasion.
