A Question about hats

[(Anonymous)]

I'm trying to write a fill and need to know what kind of hat Jeeves is wearing at 0:31-0:32 and 2:17-2:23 in this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR9C0Y3PVP0 (sfw, the link is to the montage of Jeeves living it up in NYC)

I've google image searched fedoras and trilbies but I can't be sure. The entire "plot" somehow hinges around the type of hat Jeeves wears for going out at night so I want to get it right!

It's called a homburg. Early 20th century versions were larger than present day.

Search for 1920s hat advertisements.

Thank you! I also just noticed that it's in the picture on the top of this post. I think the heatwave must be melting my brain. Searching for advertisements helps with tuxedos too so thanks for that idea as well. Less of the modern cheap fancy dress costume stuff.

My pleasure!

I just spent the last 20 minutes reading about the difference between homburg vs. fedora vs. trilby vs. bowler/derby vs. boater vs. Panama vs. pork pie... I've been meaning to look these up for a while so I'm glad I finally got this excuse. Looking forward to reading this fill now too!

Yes, it's easy to go down the rabbit hole with this stuff!
