replies: text: Not be unappreciative, but you can't really make out the shape of the hat in the picture, it could just as easily be a fedora. We really need a picture that clearly shows the hallmarks of the style which distinguish it, such as the upturned brim.--Ericjs (talk) 00:58, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Is It not simply Hesse in English or are we not talking about the same division of Germany. This came up on another page as in German the state is called Hessen and the people Hesse whilst in English the State is called Hesse and the people Hessians. I didn't want to change it incase i was mistaken about where exactly Eddy got the Hat, would some one who knows confirm it either way and if appropriate change the word.(86.31.182.119 (talk) 23:18, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Many Hassidic jews wear a variation of the Homburg hat even today. (though some only wear it during the week, and wear a shtriemel on the sabbath)

message: For "1930s" vs "1930's", see WP:DECADE: "Decades as such contain neither an apostrophe nor the suffix -ies (the 1980s, not the 1980's, not the 1980-ies, and definitely not the 1980s')."
Homburg (hat) is not a proper noun and is not capitalized (except at the beginning of a sentence, etc.), according to a couple dictionaries I checked: Merriam-Webster and the Canadian Oxford Dictionary. I also do not see the point of using the German word  in the article (which of course should keep its capital if we keep this word). We should stick to English. Just because the hats belong German speakers does not change them from homburgs to . Indefatigable (talk) 23:54, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Your points are well taken. Well cited. I was raised to capitalise "Homburg" because not to do so was thought incorrect, but you are correct over my understanding of it. I appreciate the examination of the article thus far. You are helping broaden and expand it. I thank you. Djathinkimacowboy 01:38, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Both capitalised and non-capitalised versions are widespread, neither is the "correct" version. E.g. Chambers dictionary capitalises it, other's don't. Of the five refs currently in the article, one is a book which I don't own, one is a dead link to a German site (where any noun would be capitalised anyway so of little relevance to English), the remaining three though are internet links and two use capitals, one does not. Both versions are correct. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:47, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Was it Edward VII or VIII who was associated with this type of hat? The article is contradicted by the sources quoted.
For those who don't know, Edward VII was the son of Queen Victoria, reigned from 1901-1910, and is the monarch for whom the Edwardian era is named. His grandson, Edward VIII, abdicated from the throne in 1936 in order to marry Wallis Simpson the following year. 87.114.176.28 (talk) 19:15, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No, they are not contradictory. You are assuming that the reference in a book about the younger Edward does not refer to his grandfather. Mangoe (talk) 19:24, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

message: In my reading of black tie (semi-formal) literature, the bowler or homburg is considered appropriate for the tuxedo.  That should make the homburg a (classically defined) semi-formal hat, correct?  I am wondering if this is worth mentioning.  Also, traditionall men wore straw from May-Labor Day and felt the remainder of the year.  The straw boater article is described as being the equivalent in formality to the homburg.  Do we think these are worth including?  I'm skeptical about the connection with the bowler, as it seems to be contemporary sartorial opinion. Coemgenv (talk) 18:45, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
