The homburg is a stiff felt hat with a crease along the length of the crown and no pinches, and has a brim with the edge sharply turned up all the way around.
It was popularized by Edward VII (King of England from 1901 to 1910; son of Victoria and Prince Albert; famous for his elegant sporting ways (1841-1910)) after visiting Germany and bringing back a hat of this style.
Like the fedora (Felt hat with a creased crown), the homburg was once quite popular and is still available in almost any color, but the most common colors are fl, grey, and brown.

 Sir Winston Churchill   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
His early military service included hand-to-hand combat in the Sudan, and he lived to see the use of atomic weapons as a means to end World War II.
He was most familiar as a diplomat in his homburg hat and bowtie flashing the V-for-Victory sign with his index and middle fingers; but he was also a weekend artisan, building garden walls at his home at Chartwell, as well as an accomplished painter.
His paintings were regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy, which held a one-man retrospective of his work in 1958.

 W. V. Quine, J. S. Ullian - The Web of Belief
If on the other hand I describe that same event by saying that I saw a stout man with a broad face, a gray moustache, rimless spectacles, a Homburg hat, and a walking stick, putting a small white flat flimsy object into the slot of a mailbox, this is an observation sentence.
The reason for such agreement is that the terms used in an observation sentence are terms that we can all apply to their objects on sight: terms like "mailbox", "stout man", "gray moustache", "rimless spectacles", "Homburg hat", "walking stick".
They are terms unlike "dean of the law school", "birthday", "daughter in Belgium"; for in applying these terms to the present situation we depend on past experiences that few have been privileged to share.
