the hat is grey and the ribbon is a dark grey ... for some reason it photographs almost purpleWhat sr
What are the colors? On my display it looks gray with a cranberry ribbon. It looks fantastic no matter!

The only dated ad I could find admittedly without extensive search was from Nov. 1941 .Excellent Knox, Ant. Do we have any dates on when the Foxhound was offered?
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
fantastic hat!!!I've been waiting on this one. A Knox 15 from ebay. Sellers pic didn't do the hat justice, and neither do mine but give one a better idea of the cool brown felt and old copper color of the ribbon and bow with a twisted knot. I've wanted a nice Knox for some time, and the twisted knot is something I've loved since I saw them on the Gannon hats of @moontheloon and @Frunobulax
Nothing under the sweat except a stamp of the size, 7-3/8 and some pencil or crayon marks that mean nothing to me. The hat is a Long Oval (Ovalized Sixteenths in Knox jargon) and fits like a custom. It also has the Knox Custom Edge, aka Cavanagh Edge, that I really like. The reeded sweat and stitching of same are in good shape. The liner shows its age but is all there and legible. The felt looks really good and creases like a dream.... it's also dusty and will get a good brushing after the Lexol dries on the inside of the sweat.
The hat looks good, but I may give it a naptha bath anyway...

Thanks, Anthony. It's an immediate favorite. Looks a little like Whiskey felt and the copper ribbon just tops it off. Did you catch the way the felt on the left front pinch just falls into that incredible bash? Amazing. Now I just need a Knox 40, and a Knox 100....fantastic hat!!!
tops in your collection in my opinion

Excellent Foxhounds recently! Justin, does your have the Custom/Cavanagh Edge, or does it have an overwelt like Anthony's hat?Not sure on vintage, I think 50s/60s.
Color Is a blue/grey
