Well, I thought I wouldn't have this in hand until Monday, but I received a surprisingly early delivery at the office today.

What was listed as an "old Knox" is a mighty nice Fifteen. Sure, it has a few blemishes, but so do I. And it fits!

Thanks, John!

I got it from hatsdirect.com. I previously bought an Akubra Federation IV from their store (which, by the way, i'm selling) and the experience was great. Also they gave me many advice before I ordered

The Knox 15 is very knice indeed!

I've not been in buying mode for a while, but got a vintage Panama today and my next hat is one of these, happily sitting on the fence at Mr. Jessee's place.

Well, i'm mostly used to trilbies and panama so the Fed IV looked quite hight to me. i dunno for other fedora but yes, generally speaking they have a high crown and a larger brim. The Hampton is for me a sort of transition in between a trilby and a regular fedora

I ordered a Stetson Center Dent panama from Delmonico last night. I needed a decent panama so I don't ruin my old Knox. It's about to get hot around these parts!

I understand this perfectly, from the opposite angle. I'll wear one of my Akubra Campdrafts for a while (which have a wider brim than the Fed IV), and when I switch to one of my Fed IVs I feel like I'm wearing a Trilby. lol
