An eBay find from last week. A very dark brown heathered felt Knox Superfine. Open crown height is 5 1/2", brim is 2 3/8". It came unlined, but I had one of Bond's liners in my stash, so I put that in there. Very supple felt. Overwelted, triple-stitched brim treatment. The triple-stitching does not go all the way through the brim, and there is no trace of it visible on the bottom edge.

No sir, I have a couple of Mallory boxes already. That one has a Coast-to-Coast in it.
Beautiful hat. Love these heather felts.

Thanks, Stefan. Since it's the first I've gotten my hands on, I'm pretty stoked.

This is a spiffy little hat i referenced when i first joined and posted as my Avatar. It’s one comfy hat. Pretty good condition except for the ever increasing popped sweat stitching. Cause “i wear it”!! Dusty i see.
Plain Knox Vagabond.
Be well. Bowen

Looks like the Vagabond’s all grown up Big Brother! Black on black on black. Very distinguished. Love the brown unreeded sweat stitching pic. So artfully delicate. Another great winner.

Picked up my 3rd Knox Twenty last week. Nice tall crown at 5 3/4" open. Brim 2 3/4" with custom edge. The wind trolly has the Knox logo. It's beige with a 2" dark brown ribbon. Right now I'm opting to just have center dent and no pinch. Knowing me it will end up with a diamond but for now I keep it tall and no pinch. Best picture for color is the the view from the top.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is from the 50s.
