    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Okay. So. First, finding a black Knox fro the 30s a few weeks ago. Now...I found this gem of a piece that is forthcoming. I know one cannot hurry love...But a Knox 40? Be swift, snail mail! Did I say I love vintage Knox pieces? Oh yeah. I did.

    One of my favorite brand of vintage fedoras; The Knox Premier. The 'embossed' Custom Edged and Ovalized Sixteenths on the sweatband... I'm guessing late 30s early 40s for this black beauty. 5 5/8 crown, 2 3/8 Custom Edge brim, Ovalized 16ths size tag (from what I hear, the Ovalized tag was first...

    Akubra Overload

    I hear ya. But not snug enough to let it go. Or sell. Or return. Indeed. A size adjustment has been done. The hats I wear are mostly never noticeable (as far as snugness) when I wear them. The piont made was the same company (Akubra) with different 'styles' of hats being the same size with...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Hey Daniele! First, this model is bellisimo!!! Second, I believe you may be onto something as there are no there identifiers (labels, markings) on the hat anywhere. The ribbon could've been replaced as the threading used to sew looks more recent. But it's only my novice assessment. I...

    Akubra Overload

    Thanks! I used no steam as the felt is much softer than my CDBGB. At least I'm not alone regarding the fit...

    Cream color Borsalino. No markings except for size and guesses. :) The hat is famous from what I gather from my research.

    Homburg Nation

    Thanks to Daniele for making this beautiful piece available. I didn't care for gray Homburgs unless the shade was just right. This one fits the bill. Upon arrival from Italy in a large (thankfully) box that was crushed... Before After....

    Akubra Overload

    Had to pull trigger for an Akubra Bushman in Moonstone from David Morgan. This one's a bit snug for a 7 1/2. Interesting how my CDBGB was same size but fit more closer to 7 5/8. Oh well! This one is cool with a slight upward adjustment...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Borsalino Homburg...I own 2. This one is different in that the size tag is gold (I've seen red and even green) and the crown appears to show a more stately appearance. Looking to clean this beaut up nicely. Yet, anticipation is making me wait....

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Thanks so much! It has to be broken in due to very limited wear! Y'know. I'm still enjoying the Silver Resistol OR Clone you blessed me with! ;)

    Oh my! Y'know. This is why I remain a hat scholar! I tried my best to read that label! The seller and me went back and forth playing 'label detectives.' :). Nonetheless, I am so grateful for the information sir! The brim edge treatment appears to be over welt but the stitching (or lack...
