    A ravishing Royal Stetson.

    About 8 months ago in April a terrible storm passed over My sweet home in Alabama. A ef5 to be a bit more exact, but anyways the horrible tornado side swiped my house( I thank God for that) but took all the power out with it as well. So, since my grandparents moved up to Tennessee about 2 months...

    I felt the same way about the site, but haven't heard any word that anyone is asking for it to be torn down. I don't know if they just ignoring it or what. But that fine lady sure does love those hats.

    Knox 20 Dating

    Funny because I was just about to post this. A history of Knox hatters Knox was started in 1838 when Charles Knox opened a small hat shop on Fulton Street in downtown New York. His aim was to make the finest hat in the city. He succeeded and by 1854 he had the largest hat shop in the city...

    How do you store your hats?

    Well I just keep them in their boxes of course! And make sure that nothing ever touches them except for me.

    What did YOU get for Christmas?

    I would love one of those, but Im the only one in my family that were's hats(professionally of course). So I wouldn't be able to talk my dad into buying one. Anyways that is a neat thing there and the little one looks like she is going to be a collector some day! And have a Merry Christmas evening.

    What did YOU get for Christmas?

    XD Well its quite funny you would bring that up. Every hat that I have received is exactly 7 1/8. I find it quite interesting that my head fits that size perfectly especially when Im driving down the highway at 70 mph. It's not tight but its snug and I don't have to worry about it flying of my head.

    What did YOU get for Christmas?

    Well, I cant say that I got it "as a Christmas present" But I did inherit a hardly[maybe 4 times] worn(My grandparents on both sides of the family are guilty of this) Royal Stetson. It's a dark brown one, but I haven't seen anything this brand new, its all most perfect... to perfect. My grandma...

    Also, I got this box after my great friend didn't need it for his hat anymore(Got stolen) so he decided that I could use it.How ever, I do not have another Knox 20 series and had just inherited my great grandfathers Royal Stetson but ran out of space. So I decided to be "politicly incorrect"...

    Knox 20 Dating

    Here is my box. I would rate it(on a scale of 1-100) a 82 because there is a bit of fading and quite a few dents in it. But the inside of the box is fine, no major dents, and no rips. The hat is a different story. I would rate it a 93 because of the dirty liner it has and the rip in it as...

    When we first found it thats what we thought, but since we wanted to look at the history of the gun we looked in the official Smith and Wesson archive and catalog.(Btw excellent book I found mine in B&N) Which said that it was a bit more special. So we went and got it tested and it came back...
