    Crofut & Knapp Tales

    Josh: Thank you for your very kind remarks. The derby exhibits a delicacy in materials and execution that I find very appealing. As you noted, the brim flanging and curl are quite flat, which I think complements the light and thin felt very well. It would be fantastic to find a dated...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Derbies were definitely available in myriad weights and finishes back in the day. My two C & K derbies both have extremely thin and flexible felt, and yet are distinctly different. As can be seen from this very informative ad which buler posted a while back, C & K derbies were made in six...

    Pre- 1940s Stetson dress hats.

    I am certain it looks even better following your thorough steam and brush. Definitely worthy of additional photos, Alan.

    Crofut & Knapp Tales

    Crofut & Knapp Derby, 1910s The second of two early C & K derbies from Minnesota that I acquired this past November. Fine quality felt, unlined, and in near mint condition, with just a hint of darkening to the forehead portion of the sweatband as well as an elaborate, stamped aluminum crest to...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    A very fine derby, Alan. I suspected from the dimensions the seller provided me that the hat is really a 7-1/8, Long Oval. Looks to fit you very well!

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Based upon Ale's comment it seems clear to me that he felt(from your PM) that he had offended you, and also felt it necessary to move the photos to a separate thread. He did not state that he was encouraged to start a separate thread to showcase his work. Ale indicated exactly what he did with...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    I find this to be both surprising, and disappointing.

    Beautiful Featherweight Stetson Derby, Alan. Glad you picked this one up. It looked from the listing photos to be much smaller than the stated size, and from the dimensions provided by the seller it appeared to be close to a 7-1/8 Long Oval in size. How is the fit?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Cicero: Hat and food look delicious. Perhaps you should give serious consideration to Alan's suggestion, although I cannot think of which Minnesotan to whom he was referring. lol Erik: It was COLD this morning, but at least you can wear a nice, comfy fleece jacket at the gym, and keep...
