Greetings All:
Today....well...stayed up till about 5:30 watching old movies. That’s a little past my bedtime. Woke up after about an hour and couldn’t get back to sleep. So, it’s me and the bees on the porch with a Knox Twenty, deep diving diamond.
We don’t seem to see the Knox hats near as much as others but they do make a fine hat. On par with the Dobbs Twenty and Mallory Dallas etc.
i would think but Knox wins the felted edge contest. Imho
Be well.
Bowen
Ps: i know, the Dallas has a bound brim.

I’m gonna copy you with a Knox Twenty for work today Bowen.

I had a come and go signal at the lake this weekend, so trying to catch up on all the great hats posted. Sorry if I missed anyone.

You have a great collection Bowen.

I know you like to watch old movies for the hats don't you! I know I do. I watched "The Natural" last night for the first time in probably 25 years and there are a ton of great hats in it. It must have been back when vintage hats were abundant because the hats in that movie were there real deal.

Ha. My wife always laughs at me when I point out the hats in an old movie. LOL. Or she’ll be like. Your looking at the hats aren’t you.

Absolutely. I like to try to figure out the thin ribbons whether they are Stratoliners or not. One movie I saw from the forties (I can't for the life of me remember the name) had a guy wearing a Strat and the pin was still in it.

1932 Peters Brothers while sitting on the daughter's patio reading a book (on my iPad). My 2 week quarantine isn’t officially over till Wednesday but we have painters doing the inside of her new house today. So I came over to remove doorknobs etc. We plan on moving her fiancé in next week so the house will be occupied till the wedding. It was supposed to the 24th of April but has been postponed to July 25th.

Great hat Bill, and good to see you doing OK. I was thinking of those Peter Bros Shady Oaks after seeing Greg post his Stetson. Do you know the story on theirs ? Was it commissioned by Amon Carter also ?

Yep, that’s the one Joe.

Thanks
Wow Tim.. tremendous job with the brim.. it was a beautiful hat to begin with. But what you did with the brim takes it over the top. 2 3/4 starts to get into a range that looks too big on me... that up turn on the edge gives it really nice proportions.

something like that was what I was thinking would look great on this over century old Roelofs

Good day folks. Thanks for sharing your hats and adventures.

My dog romp this morning found me wearing a 50's Stetson with Mode edge treatment. The fedora is a light gray felt with a very unique ribbon. As far as I can interpret my dog approved.

My black Warren fedora contrasts with Brazilian medium roasted coffee with a dash of cream. Last nights reading was how cream bonds to some bitter elements in coffee and bonds to the taninns in tea. Interesting. I tip my cup in your direction this morning.

A longer walk was taken in a vintage 50's Adams fedora. I was inspired by yesterdays post from Michael. The ribbon treatment is just plain special. The felt hue in contrast with the green hued pug is well done. Marvelous hat.

Home and cleaning out outside flower pots. Gannon Wanderer (inspired by the venerable Stetson hat of said name) in a bone beaver felt with a special ribbon treatment.

Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -
