Here's one you don't see the likes of too often with its pleated multi colored brim binding .
This is an older Knox with embroidered liner and un reeded sweatband in size marked 7 3/8. Easily fits 23 +. Brim is 2 3/4. Condition is excellent inside and out.

Here's a very nice go to vintage Stetson wide brim in 7 1/2. Raw brim is 3 3/8. Liner is clean. Has a new Sheepskin vented sweat for comfort . NOS Vintage crown ribbon .
This is a great all rounder .
Asking 149. Plus shipping -Prefer a Money Order -thanks
Thanks for the comments guys. This one I just finished is from a Czech Republic fur felt of rabbit I guess, it's a light blue/grey color. I added a navy crown ribbon with a blue/grey binding. Sweat is un finished sheepskin that I vented and liner is navy in Silk . Brim is about 2 7/8 and my...
Very cool looking Knox with pleated brim binding that is exceptionally well done. Has unreeded sweat and embroidered liner also. Knox stamp is embossed into leather too. A very clean find .
Depends on the hat and the issue really. Some of my hats go into the washing machine , I have a new one that doesn't have the tall agitator and works great for hats I want to really re work the felt on.

Here's a sweet vintage Knox Fedora tagged a 7 3/8, measures about 23 3/8 or closer to a 7 1/2. Brim is 2 3/4 and has the fanciest binding I have ever seen. It is (4) different shades of grey and measures 3/4 on top and 1/4 showing on bottom of brim. Really nicely executed. Crown ribbon is in...
Belfast boy , the sweat needs to be removed both to get a proper dye job as well as if your going to have any luck blocking the hat after it's been dyed. Also I do not recommend cutting brim down until after dying /washing is completed as felt will shrink especially depends on temp of water...
Borsalino with a liner logo I've not seen before . Has a sweet pleated style crown ribbon and sharp decorative edge stitching. Silk liner and super nice dense medium weight felt.
Pardon my opinion Single change your probably right about date on the Stetson but really is a moot point to compare it to any of the Borsalinos your referencing above as they are two entirely different animals .
If your already familiar with vintage 7x especially earlier than this vintage than...
