Nice recovery and a cool looking hat.
While it makes me cringe every time I see this or experience it with hats I ordered myself, it doesn't worry me that much. I've found that hats are amazingly resilient to abuse and with some steaming spring right back to life.
Great condition!
4 super hats, Panos. Very classical looking Fedoras. I particularly like the Knox with its iconic 40s look. Nice buys.I rarely go for under 6.5cm brim width but these recent arrivals, all just under 6cm (around 5.8cm) are growing on me.
Knox premier in light grey with blue undertones
Crown is straight at 14+cm as open. Cav brim edge. Felt clay like, softer than my knox twenty. It compares only with my vintage Italian ones
Next cavanagh mid grey with cav edge
Crown at 11.5cm at dent and has some taper on. Felt is great. Condition never worn.
Third of the shorties the Resistol Caronia at steel grey
Crown at 11cm at dent. Wide ribbon at 5.5cm finished with a back bow. Under welt brim with blind stiching. Soft but sturdy felt. Almost pristine condition. Wonderful everyday hat and great style!
A wider brim now. Lee mid grey fedora
Crown at 11.3cm at dent, brim at 6.3cm with overwelt finished with blind stiching. 5cm wide grey-green ribbon and matching wind cord. Thin and nice felt. Great condition and classic style.
Many thanks to Brent for these last three

Thanks Steve! The Knox? I would have bet you would choose the back bow as your favourite

For a good reason my friend, it's a wonderful hat and the felt, oh that's a dream
Cool gills on the Mayser.Some more of their own category. European this time
Mayser dark blue fedora size 57
Crown at 11.5cm at dent. 6cm raw brim and 4.5cm midnite blue ribbon finished with shark gills. Felt is very soft and from the weight of it I assume some fur and wool mixture. Great condition.
Next Panizza stingy size 56. Not sure how this style is called ?
Crown 11cm at dent and brim at 4.5cm after curl. Felt is very soft and finish is peachy, kind of shorter nap suede. Color is cogniac.
Unfortunately these two don't fit me, one is too roomy and the other too small

Might not be a high weave count Greg, but it sure looks good. I particularly like the ribbon treatment. Looks a great straw colour too in that wonderful natural sunlight.
Sorry Greg, wrote Bob. Altered it now. Guess men just can't multitask [emoji23]
Super colour and shape, Max. Love the wide, green shade ribbon, too.New-to-me Art Fawcett. I lint-rollered, brushed, and steamed it, and it looks like it left Art's shop today.
I think this is half rabbit, but I am not a Vintage Silhouettes expert.
I really like the shape and the color, and it has a nice hand.
It is Navy blue.
