As much as I like the European felts (vintage), I find the US hat styles and proportions pretty irresistible. Unfortunately such pieces are very rare here but Brent is such a generous and kind soul (read initiator) :)

Let's start with the twenties.

Knox twenty, camel with cav edge View attachment 187953 View attachment 187954 View attachment 187955 View attachment 187956

Crown 12 cm at dent , brim at 7cm. Hand is wonderful.

Second.
Dobbs twenty, chocolate brown with cav edge

View attachment 187957 View attachment 187958 View attachment 187959
Crown at 11.5cm at dent, brim at 7cm.

Other than some minor stains on the liner or the wax paper both hats are in pristine condition.

A vintage electric hat stretcher (fully functional) that was found in the local market is shown ;)

Thanks Brent !!!

Black Stetson 3X Beaver Fedora Selv-edge Hat with Black Grosgrain Ribbon and Feather
Quick question (and yes, it's a size 7).... there is a particular name for this brim (1-3/4") that I found and can't recall where and what it's called. Any idea? It's in great condition, but it was wedged in with others and the grosgrain needs steaming. Anything else I should know about this piece? Many thanks.

You probably mean "snap brim" aka "stingy brim"

Hi,
I like how you photographed that. Unique.
It does look like mine. Does your have the name inside, Tornado? Would love to use a hat name.
Gee, one minute I look at mine and think it's brown, the next Black. I think I better it outside :)
Thanks for your help.
