How do you rate it against the Knox 20s?

That’s tough. By design homburgs usually have more structure and the brims are stiffer than a fedora. I know you know all this.

The felt is very nice. It arrived open crown and it accepted a dry crease without issue. My only Knox Twenty is a decade older than this Superfine but I think I’d give the Twenty the edge.

I ended up with this because the seller wasn’t sure if it was a 7 3/8 or 7 5/8. Rolled the dice and lost. It’s such a nice hat too. I thought about keeping it just to have it but someone should get to wear it.

What is the brim width on this? Is it a very light grey felt (on my monitor) or a light brown?

 

[deadlyhandsome]

It’s light grey. When I get home I’ll measure the brim for you.

That is a magnificent hat, Brent. Too bad it's three sizes too large for me. Knox superfine is an excellent homburg by any standard.

Just making sure you saw that I added the measurement you were looking for.

I asked Bowen the same question. He says the Twenty is better hands down.

I would agree that the Twenty is nicer, but this felt is also very nice.

An amazing hat at such a low price. Come on fellows; start wearing real hats and step into the Homburg Nation (you never want to leave).

Any other 7 3/8 coming up.

I don’t think so. I do have a Borsalino that is 6 1/2 Punti and Borsalinos often run small... hard to say. I’ll list it in a few days but here’s a peak:

I also have this Dobbs 707 stingy with some moth damage.

I’d let this Dobbs go pretty cheap if anyone was interested.
