    What kind of Knox is this?

    Makes sense. Thank you, Bob!

    What kind of Knox is this?

    It's on the left as you wear it. And it's really big inside. I'm a 7 3/8" and there's room to spare on me.

    What kind of Knox is this?

    I picked this up from a novelty collector in Kentucky. From what I can find online (early Knox catalogs), it looks like something offered around 1910 or so. But what is it? A bolero? A gambler's hat? Any insights appreciated!

    Wynewood Hat Company

    Point made. I too will wear my hats. But beware of my banjo. It has superpowers.

    No. But it's considerably stronger in a bar fight. Serves two purposes. :)

    Wynewood Hat Company

    Ok, hat fans. Another newbie question. Can a hat be "too nice" to wear? When I got into this new/recent interest (fedoras), I was wearing non-fedora period hats to my gigs (musician... play Traditional Music on banjo and fiddle). I discovered vintage fedoras, similar to what was worn during...

    Wynewood Hat Company

    Most of the older Fedora Lounge threads (back to 2004) were people commenting "have you heard of this company?" Nothing new to add... yet. :)

    Wynewood Hat Company

    Thanks for the feedback! The guy I bought them from was in his late 70's. These hats belonged to his "unca" Bill who was known as "great dancer" and (especially) a "snazzy dresser." He apparently had quite the wardrobe which included multiple hats. Unca Bill died quite a while back (60's?) and...

    Wynewood Hat Company

    Hi. I'm new here. Picked up two beautiful (1960's?) Wynewood fedoras off Facebook and am now trying to find some history on the company. Seemed to baffle Google (that's a first)! Does anyone have any info they can share? Are they a collectable/desireable hat? They look (and fit) magnificent!
