Twenty's are great Dobbs to get. I have one too and it's probably my nicest hat, like new.

Tommy, I am still waiting for you to send that one to me.

Hey all!
I just pulled the trigger on a 40-50's Twenty Fifth Avenue. It's a 5 1/2 crown, 2 3/4 brim, open crown never worn. Can't wait to get it! Will be glad to be a member of the Dobbs Mobb.
Sounds just like the one I found recently, an absolutely fantastic hat, those vintage hats are definitely the way to go, and the Dobbs 20 is one of my favorites. Glad you found one I am sure you will love it.
There aren't any, necessarily, as the Twenty wasn't a model name, but a quality/price designation. From the late-1940s through the 1960s most Dobbs hats advertised with a $20 price would have the "Twenty" designation on the sweatband regardless of model or style.
Great find.
