View attachment 237093 View attachment 237094 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!
The last pic is of Anthony's Cav.
and the rest are mine.
So, my search is over!
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?

Congrats, Max. I'm glad you were able to find what is for you a dream hat. I know how ecstatic I was to get this Cav.
Yes, there is a tag under the sweat and liner, but I am always loathe to start pulling on sweats and liners in older hats, especially enough to take a picture, and again, especially when they are in such pristine condition.
