Vertigo gone. A new day! Off to see my DC (chiropractor) and then to work. I'll wear the 60's Charles Knox 40 to see Doc David then the Outback Trading Co River Guide, a waxed cotton rain hat. I plan to put my fedora in the trunk and hang the hat in the employee locker room when I get to work.

You guys continue to post the most amazing hats. Even if I don't have time to comment on all the posts, please know my "Likes" are sincere. The members of the FL are completely awesome... even @Bob Roberts ! :D

File pic of the Charles Knox 40, an old stingy brim about my age I'd guess, complete with a Cav Edge brim treatment and a killer sweat with slitted ribbon and bow:

Glad you're better. Nice Knox.

Thanks Richard.

That western looks great.
A very special tribute, Matt. Incredible hat, and the jacket: wow, what a wonderful thing to have; made by Dad. Perfect.


Excellent custom work. The hat looks fantastic.


You wear that western very well!
The crease and brim curl on that CD is perfect Karl. Nice.


Such a legacy from your father. I doubt my dad would have done such a thing... "Damn long hair hippies, what, you want to be like them? Not in my house!"


Beautiful Mallory Fabio.


Classic, love a Navy hat. Nice pearl.


Great story on that hat, I like the color and the new ribbon. Brim is nice at 2.25".


Classic Italian indeed! The finish looks so supple. Very nice Daniele.


Looks good on you. And thank you.


From a distance, that ribbon is quite a looker. Can we see a close up? Not that I want to steal the idea or anything...


Sometimes ya just gotta go stingy! I love the look of that Chuck Knox.


Filson? Love that Hanover. The dimensions are sweet.
Thanks Doug & Mike. Yeah... I'll be forever indebted to him for so many things.

Glad that the vertigo has passed, Doug. The only good Vertigo stars Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak. And the Knox rocks.
My specialest hat... from a company that was at its height c.1905 and was completely gone by the start of WWI. For those that haven't seen it before, more photos here.

Apologies for the shredded shirt color... I just can't let this paisley go.
Dang!!!

Your thumb needs to be about 433 times larger to express just how big a thumbs-up that hat deserves.

Fantastic, Alan.

Thanks for your notes and enjoyment of the old Hawes Von Gal. I'm sorry for the lost links in the dedicated thread for this company. There is some excellent research by @Joshbru3... I hope someday he can clean them up. I've only seen a handful of examples from Hawes, the others being stiff hats and boaters. For some reason, very few early soft hats seem to have survived.
