Any ideas what year this thing is? I'm thinking it's from the 60's

It's go a 2 1/4" brim

Sometimes I flip the sweatband out to see any clues underneath...be careful though--my Walton's sweat was fragile and the old cracks got worse. It was retailed at $9 so I figured it was older than it looked.
Love the shape and classic color scheme. Could very well be vintage '60s but really looks to be well preserved if it is. I searched Shatz bros. and it looks like they may have closed in '61 but please don't quote me on that.
Nice to contain real beaver, too. If it fits well, I would judge it to be a real solid lid in your stable of hats since gray matches almost anything.

2 new Knox hats arrived yesterday. Sizes 7 3/4 and 7 5/8. This style of hat is hard to find in these sizes so I was very happy to find these.

The first hat is a size 7 5/8 Knox Premier with a blue logo in the top of the crown (any info on dating or quality level of this would be appreciated)

Thanks Brad, Is it the interior labels that you use to figure the dating?


RLK: That's quite a haul! Are those truly blue toned as they appear in the photos?

They'll look blue when they reflect the light outside,especially when shaded. They are each a different level of darkness of a neutral silver/gray. The head shot is a more neutral representation. The other two are 56cm. each.
