What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Interesting. I've owned a couple of Knox 20s... just checked the one I still have and it does have an elastic cord and logo button but one end of the cord is sewn to the hat. Perhaps yours was modified by a retailer for their customer or by the end user after it became separated from the hat... -

Supernatural leghorn, but the spooky disappearing brim in the selfie is courtesy portrait mode on my iPhone camera. Hope you get the gist from the other photos. ;^) -

vintage caps
I think it will be hard to date definitively... the union label indicates earlier than 1983 and the construction/style suggests 1960s to me. -

Thank you Mark... Keith is a cap whisperer. This one was a fun journey - I purchased this fabric from an eBay auction that Keith directed me to and sent the fabric to Australia in exchange for a hat from the winnings. There was enough to do a handful of hats which are all made and sold at this... -

An unusual 1920s Dobbs boater that has served me well over the years for everydays and special days. -

Thanks Charlie. I remember seeing two of these in my years of looking - the other was from the collection of RLK. He had that one up for sale in the classifieds, I believe, quite a few years back. -

The end of straw season is drawing near. ,Today I wore a Premier Quality Knox straw (baku), fine and light (1.9 ounces on my postal scale)...sold during the O.P.S. era, this hat is just a wee bit older than me. -

This hundred year old Mikado is a favorite from my collection of straw hats and perhaps the second most interesting thing to come out of Roswell, New Mexico. It was finished in high execution by the Frank H. Lee company sometime during the 1920s. Lee Hats was founded in 1887 and at its height... -

A fine summer straw by Knox, sold from Ryan English shops in Pennsylvania Station. The store was in business from the early days of the train station (completed in 1910) and closed in 1977, years after the original station was torn down. There is a nice piece on the shop and its focus on fitting... -

Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
On the campaign trail... I recently added a second Stetson campaign styled hat to accompany a similar/later example that I've had for some time. The original is a Stetson No.1 Quality grade, likely from the period from 1935-1940. The new addition is a Stetson 1X Nutria grade which I believe... -
Toppers Unite
Nice find and quite old I would guess. The height of the crown appears tall and the brim (flat originally) suggests nineteenth century and perhaps mid nineteenth century. 4 1/2 would be the size (56 in centimeters). It might have been black silk plush originally, faded over time to appear brown... -
Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps
A hat that recently came my way... Stetson 1X Nutria with a soft hand and flexible brim (it could easily be pulled up like a slouch hat), Fray sweatband. Silver foil imprint for the M.C. Lilley Co. of Columbus Ohio. I would guess this hat to date from the second decade of the 20th century. -

Thank you... Keith Lo Bue is one of several craftsmen who make hats in 1920-1930 proportions. This one is cut from a wonderful piece of vintage 1950s linen silkscreened in a wild atomic design. You can see a nice presentation of his work at Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWellDressedHead -
