Thanks rami. Appreciate the compliments. Vintage cameras and wrist & pocket watches are just two more of the vices I have!

You wear it well, Bob!

Lookin' good, Bob! I recently picked up my first Schoble - they make a great hat, eh?

Yes they do and thanks again for the compliments! Did u post yours yet...? The center dent crown is firm. The sides and brim are Homburg Sturdy and the fore crown in front is actually supple enuff to take a soft pinch but whats impressing me the most is the finish is oh so smooth and finely pounced.

Thanks Mach. I'm enjoying it immensely and Moon really hooked me up with this one!

Please excuse this repost of the Knox Twenty. I'm playing around with resizing my pictures. Maybe still too large.

Larger photos allow us to get a better look at the goods. As long as they're not so large that they force us to scroll side-to-side, they're okay as far as I'm concerned.

I agree,it's a beauty!

 

[humanshoes]

Well, that's good to know Al as I'm pretty much done messing around with it. Hah!

 

[humanshoes]

And I agree with you RJR. It is a beautiful lid. I believe it's destined for the stretcher.

This arrived today. I bought it from Etsy, on Christmas. A departure from my shorter brimmed purchases of late.
Lee Silver Label
4 1/2" crown as creased, 2 1/2" bound brim, bow slightly offset to the rear. Black on black on black color scheme, so the color on the pics is going to be off.

The fit is near perfect. The felt, while a bit stiff, is really nice. Not sure of the date, guess is 50's. The sweat is in good shape, but to be on the safe side I'm letting a little Lexol soak in before I try any manipulations. It does have a sweat barrier between leather and felt, and no liner tip protector.
I had been looking for a Lee for a while, glad I checked Etsy on Christmas Eve and found a recent listing!
Look out Black Fridays!!!

Very nice moehawk!!

 

[Frunobulax]

That's a beaut, Moe! Greàt pickup and a Silver Label, to boot.

It may be early 50s, can you get pix of any other tags behind the sweat? Don't forget to add it to the e Lee Lounge if you already haven't.

Lots black hats lately,..
