Knox Forty Custom Edge White
Recently acquired Knox Forty Custom Edge in off white color, not exactly chalk white but very close. Brim is 3 inches and crown about 5 1/4 inches. I thought I'd post it for reference purposes. I'm toying with the idea of having it shaped for formal occasion...
Resistol Western With Rodeo Hall of Fame
My first and one and only western hat that I stumbled upon during my birthday weekend on Ebay. The Resistol leather sweatband says "DESIGNED BY Harry Rolnick for CY TAILLON." Taillon was a legendary voice of the rodeo in the 1940's til the 1970's...
cookie,
Nice to find out there are others trying what I did. I too found a vintage circa 1940's Philippine buntal which I had custom made into a fine straw fedora from a raw hat blank of top quality. The seller of the straw hat blank told me that, just as in Ecuador, the really master weavers...
froguy,
Yes, I did find the woman's hat in my size. The hat label indicated Medium, when I found it on Etsy.com. For the last couple of years it seemed to me that high quality vintage men's panamas were getting harder to find and the asking prices were going higher and last year while...

To downsize my hats I have used a method Mr. Vince Corvelli, the master hatter, suggested to me a couple of years ago. I purchase a sheet of cork from hobby store or Joanne Fabrics Store and cut it into strips about one inch and a half width and perhaps six to eight inches long and insert them...

The Knox Fifteen with the 2 inch brim is what looks best on you. Though might it be riding a bit higher on your head than the other two. I'm wondering if the Knox isn't a bit too small in size and could be better if you had it stretched a little.
Just a plug for an awesome seller and hat lover. Offerings from his own hat collection are well worth a serious look if you are interested in any of the hats listed here.
Ditto on the nice hat comment earlier Frank....especially good to see a wider brim straw hat like yours too. Is that a 3 1/2 inch brim or larger and is the ribbon brown? I have one in the works with almost a 3 3/4 inch brim I'm curious to see how it fits on me. A styling note for you: the suit...

For sale is my Stetson open road style fedora in very good condition. No stains, no marks on the felt. Cleaned in 2012 by master hatter Mr. Vincent Corvelli who said the felt is high quality and compared to my 1960 Borsalino Qualita Superior open road fedora the Stetson is better felt. The color...
