Just realized I never posted my normal Sunday morning pictures. Just too much happened last Sunday morning. One person I know was murdered (along with a second person) and another acquaintance shot the murderer. All while in worship. At least it was stopped fast.

Anyway, I was wearing a Knox Twenty at my congregation while all this was happening about 20 minutes away.

Great looking Knox Bill. I saw the news coverage of that attack. Sorry for the loss of your friend and neighbors and kudos to your other friend for his quick response to save countless others.

My condolences to your friends. Glad evil was stopped by a gun toting Church member.
Love that tall crown, Bill. That Twenty’s a beaut!

Great job on the refurb ! I did a quick search for ‘Royal Beaver Custom Made 20’ just to see, and nothing came up. Might have to remain a mystery hat, but looks great.
Thanks Tim. My guess might be that it was some store brand. It's a later era hat, I would guess the 60s, but the felt is quite nice.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friends, Bill. That Knox looks like the twin of the one I had on yesterday morning. Nice dense felt on these.

The hour has become late and the light has almost disappeared on this last day of 2019

Another hat from the "felts with special finishes" series
AristoVerde 4.jpg

Aristocrat (second brand of Barbisio) in size 59 or 7 3/8 made in the historical factory of Barbisio before 1980
AristoVerde 6 bis.jpg

The color of the felt is "Dresda" and the finish is "talpa pelo corto lucente-bright short-haired mole"

The surface of the felt is slightly bristly, but absolutely malleable. I put brims up because I liked the shape of the hat.
The ribbon is very interesting, as in most hats with "different" felt

I just have to wish you Happy New Year and a 2020 full of beautiful hats
