    Knox Fifth Avenue

    That looks like a VERY old and very fine Knox. Wonderful for you that you obtained it and that it fits. It is a shame when the sweatbands deteriorate. I absolutely hate to remove the originals with the branding and in your case embossing. But when they are crumbling, whatcha' gonna' do? Optimo...

    Thanks for the detail. I like that lacing technique. May do some of my other old sporty shoes that way too.

    Vintage Spectator Shoes

    As fate would have it, today I scored these at a thrift shop. Very much like cookie's recent purchase but with mesh. They fit me like they were custom-made for my feet. Slightly worn condition, but for $6, I settled. :)

    Straw Hats or Felt

    Man, lemme tell ya', I'm sure going to. It has been such a rainy summer I got gypped out of most opportunities for wearing my Panamas. When the wet season finally passes it'll still be plenty warm here in Florida so I'll milk it until probably November!

    Vintage Spectator Shoes

    Ha! I almost fought you for those. Too many shoes as-is so I just watched it end. Congrats. They are stylish. As far as little-worn shoes go, I've noticed that many times the ones I get in practically new condition have only very slight wear on one shoe's sole. As in, it must have been the...

    The Dobbs Diner...

    Hey, jon. The Dobbs Hanover Square is a Whippet in most all but name. Good, not fantastic, felt. Not quite as soft as a real Whippet. Substantial. Products of the '50s or later. The only two significant differences between these and the Whippets they were marketed against are; 1) The flanging...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Ouch. Hopefully, you win more than you lose. I'll bet you do. That hat has a lot of desirable details going for it but they seem to total up to a rather funny looking little lid. Not exactly a Whippet in terms of eye appeal, if ya' know what I mean. Reserves turn me off. Hopefully you'll bounce...

    I got a couple of those from him too. One is very like your black one. Tremendous felt but a lot of taper when creased. Interesting old hats.
