Just thought I'd give a heads up to anyone looking for a knox twenty that is very inexpensively priced that I saw today on Etsy. I'm not a size 7, but some of you might be. I didn't inquire as to what the brim width was, but it did look like it had an oilskin liner in it.
Thank you for the heads up @georgie girl Decided to pick this one up. The back bow is not my preferred style.... but I did not have one... the bow and the oilskin liner I think prob place it squarely in the 50’s. AND it’s a 2 1/4 brim with Cavanagh edge. Been wanting a brown hat with a brim in this range for a while. A Knox twenty to boot. Thanks again!

Ye Olde Knox Derby showed up today.
It had a bunch of finger sized dents in the top where some large, unpleasant person tried to snatch it off of someone's head many years ago. I know this as I had someone try that in NYC to me many years ago. I got my hat back but it had a few dents in it.
At any rate, a little cleaning and some steam and it popped right back into shape. One of the dents made a really loud POP! when it snapped back.
$20 well spent.

I am not a great fan of the back bow except that it screams out as from a certain era and that I like. I have just one with a Bloomingdales label. Nice get!

I can't recall ever going fox hunting and have no plans to do so BUT should Prince Charles or somebody ring me up, I think I'll know what to drag along for the complimentary refreshments.
Oh, yes, the entire affair was quite smashing. Say, you gonna finish that?

I think this should clean up pretty well. I don't see any giant finger dents on the crown, ha, ha.
