Justin, Alan, I am simply floored. What noses you guys have!
Er... I hope that comment was received as intended-- you know, noses for sniffing out great lids!

I will post more information and photos on this one a little later, but an interesting find from a short lived company with an interesting provenance. The felt body was likely made by Machlachlan. Many similarities in style and quality to the Knox 100 now owned by Lotsahats.
I have often wondered as much as my Husband comments about some folks seem to have a "hat radar" to find those gems. You can just tell how special yet different both the hats are, Alan's hat...that felt seems as smooth as a newborn baby's rear end...smooooth. I myself am still learning about textures of felts, and even though my personal hats (all 3 of them) are vintage and nice as one would say, "hand" they just do not compare with the upper end vintage. There is much to be said about a Stetson 100 or hats that are up past a 20X, seems that after you are spoiled by those, picking up a normal three X hat just makes a person want to cry! A close look at the picture of Alan's hat, you can about "feel" the smooth surface of it...cream.
