A tip of the lid to Feraud for the inspiration for this post and his similarly named threads showcasing this great line of hats. Here's mine:
I picked it up on eBay earlier in the year and shipped it off to Art for cleaning & blocking. Although the felt is very thick, it is also very soft. It's marked as a Dobbs Twenty with a Guild Edge. Originally blocked as a C crown, I reshaped it into a center dent with a reverse taper to lower the crown height a bit and fit my face a bit better. As a result of its weight, this one will see a lot of service on blustery winter days soon to come.
