Knox Custom.

My stingiest brim that actually gets worn, albeit not very often.

Hello, my friends from the US!

This is my first time meeting so many fellow hat lovers. I’d like to share some of my hats with you—they’re traditional Chinese hats from ancient Chinese clothing, which might be different from the Western hats you talk about. I hope I don’t offend anyone.

This is a Damao from China’s Ming Dynasty. It was really popular about 400 to 600 years ago. Most Chinese people back then loved wearing this kind of hat. I hope you enjoy my share.

Love from China.

Another East Texas foggy morning today... Making it more tolerable with a nice older Royal Stetson. This one is one of those rare hats that Ive never done any cleaning beyond brushing. Truely an unbox-and-wear lid. Its all original.. light hair dressing stains and all. Mr Bear loves the smell of old hats. Ive always have been fond the wide brim bindings.

Cool. However, I'm unclear - is this vintage from the Ming Dynasty or a reproduction?

Either way, way to mix it up.
