Looking good Dave

Good eye. I put it on a plastic hat shapers block for a while, then hit it l with some steam and sharpened the front pinch just before going out yesterday.You’ve been working on the crease. Looks good and the profile suits you well.
Randy, Thank you! I haven't worn this hat in a while.Very impressive color array!
Stefan, Thanks! I have one other Gatesan so maybe I will show it in this series.A rare example, Steve. We don't see the Mogano colour that often and this is the only Gatesan model I know of. Excellent.
You know i love that hat Jonesy.Stetson Nutria Quality with a Brave Star Selvage-Cone Mills denim face mask on the daily Masked Corona Crawl at days end.
Five mile walk down the hill and along the coastal path into the darkness with clouds, wind, and a light rain.

Wow. Looking sharp sir
Last evening I watched the sun set in a Stetson Fifteen.
This morning I watched the sun rise in a Australian Stetson Whippet. After a dog soiree I headed out for a long jaunt in the woods.
This afternoon lunch was had on the deck in a VS Executive (bluemist beaver felt). Lunch was more colorful with our local Scarlet Taningier contributing it's songs.
Cheers. Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -
Thanks Joe!Looking good Dave
I love a Cavanagh fedora that Anthony Amodeo sold in his memorable hat sell-off a couple of years ago. I wasn't able to acquire it because he had already sold it to @scottyrocks, from The Fedora Lounge, and have since bitterly regretted my tardiness.
I asked Scott directly if he would sell it to me, and he replied he wouldn't "even if hell freezes over", so I have tried to find the same Cavanagh ever since.
Today I wore my Knox Twenty for the first time, and just realized why I like it so much: both hats are nearly identical in color (although I can't get my camera to show it accurately) and proportions, and the felt seems to have the same texture, softness, and malleability. They even have the same bash! No wonder Anthony liked it!

Oh! And I just added to pics of the paper tags under the sweatband. @scottyrocks, if you are there, are there any tags under yours?
