Received November 2009. Excellent service and the quality is exquisite. This is in the mid-range of his 'premium' line. I can only imagine what the 'super premium' and 'rare treasures' must be. I would definitely order from Mr. Black again.

Knox Premier

This one arrived yesterday: A really nice Knox Premier in dark sage green with a beautiful tri-colored ribbon. Very soft, thin and pliable felt. Given the plastic protector on the liner and the original $20 tag that is still behind the sweat I'd think it's probably a late 50's model - anyone wanting to chime in here? The hat has a few moth nibbles, but I can easily live with those.

Crown (creased): 5" 1/2
Brim: 2" 3/4

I went with a teardrop for now.

Aureliano, thank you. Below are more pictures. Forgive the smudge on the first pic. Its the shadow of my hand holding the brim down.

Very nice Winston-Smythe. I like the roll applied to the brim. :eusa_clap
