REDUCED 7 1/8 Knox Fifteen, DEEP Brown, Widest Ribbon Ever?

[randooch]

A way cool hat for someone with a smaller bean than I have. It has a 2" "custom edge" felted brim, a whopping 2 5/8 ribbon, and a supple 1 7/8 "Comfit" sweat. Looks like it was intended as a porkpie, what with the backbow, but there's no evidence that it ever was bashed that way. Hope these pictures do it justice! Any of you folks want it before it winds up on ebay? 60 bucks shipped?

The flat-top porkpie with backbow was a popular 60's thing... The crown is meant to be left as is, so it takes on the appearance of a porkpie without any actual crease. The focal point of the ribbon being placed behind the crown was also part of the deal. Art created rlk a great backbow, albeit with a regular fedora crown, a couple months ago.

Correction: It's more of a late 50's/early 60's style, than later 60's.

Cheers,

Ahhh, thanks for the new knowledge, Fluteplayer! That makes sense, then.

Also, I forgot to mention the hat's slight dents; they're the result of a rough packing job and will steam out easily.
