My First Knox

[Wil Tam]

I just recieved this gem [eBay win] .. slightly flawed but still gorgeous IMO! .. claimed it was new & still in the hat box with tags .. it was but it has this I don't know what on the brim, looks sorta like wax .. color is a nice rich charcoal grey with a black ribbon & wind trolley

Congrats on the new arrival!

That's a beautiful hat, WT! I was looking at it when it was up, but decided to hold off to make a another purchase. Looking at those pics, you may have made a better choice than I. Show us some pics with your head under it. Best, Sam

Looks like a nice one, you can tighten the trolly by sliding the button to the back of the hat.
Looking forward to some shots of it on.

Nice

Hi Wil tam, nice looking hat, can you tell me what IMO means, also you said something about a wind trolley, I think I know what it is but down here in OZ Ive never seen a hat with a wind trolley, Im thinking its a leash for minimising hat loss, which I have had experience with, Manly ferry, Akubra fedora, high winds, hat gone, its like hearding cats to get a ferry captain to stop in mid trip but Im hoping theres a very stylish barramundi sporting my lid down there somewhere.

IMO= in my opinion.
often used as IMHO= in my humble opinion

Man sorry to hear that you lost an Akubra ... there is a thread somewhere on the forums that is a tutorial on how to make and attach your own trolley to any hat that you own

IMO = In My Opinion

Nice hat WT.
A Knox 25 with a cav edge is always a good find, and that one is in great shape.

Ken100, here is the link to installing wind cords.

I got lucky on it Stoney ... the night before I lost out on a 60's Borsalino triple x beaver ... by a dollar ... I was annoyed for a while... but it was kinda beat-up

I almost lost this one at the last moment also but since I had the beta countdown on my desktop I won ... 50 smackers! but well worth it!

It doesn't get much better than that.

Be happy.
