Congrats on the Stetsonian and especially the *******, Moon. I know you've been scouring for a while. You're going to love it. I hope You find more. The ******* may just be my favorite model for Stetson.
Congrats to Alan as well. A Knox Tom n' Jerry is a dream hat for me. Just stunning! Great box as well.

+1 to 1mach1's post.
The ******* is terrific. I can not wait to see your wearing the hat and hear about how it stands up to the other fine hats in your wardrobe.
Alan, The Tom and Jerry, much less a green is a fedora to dream of. Excellent! Wear it proudly.

Thank you for the notes... I will share some better photos in the Knox thread. I've not owned one of these previously. Happy to have it.

Moon, thanks to you and others here, I think I'm about ready to buy a Stetsonian. Love how that looks on you.

Check out the new used Akubra. Not as classy as the fedora's that the others are posting - particularly the Stetson *******! That is one beauty and is on my want list, but every collection needs an Akubra. Will get some use out of it on my ranch here in Cleveland

This was at my door a few minutes ago.
I know nothing about the maker. No idea about the age or quality level when made. It was purely an impulse buy. It came in a beat Richman brothers box, the hat itself was little if at all worn. The velour is not as nice as my Peschel Disney, and seems quite stiff, especially when I snapped down the brim. Nowhere near the level of quaity as the Peschel felt.
Worth the $12.00, though.

It would be interesting to know the source of the felt. It looks more 1970s or later. The Velour on your Disney AP Dinkelsbühl is about as fine as you will encounter post WWII (use a long soft brush steam and brush with the nap it will shine).
Side note:
With Velours I usually start with a normal brush and steam + brush with nap. I finish with a long soft brush and steam + brush with nap. This will make the finer Velour shine / glow. If there is a lot of dust build up I would vacuum first.

All the Bianchi felts I have seen in the last few minutes looking online were labeled as 70's vintage, with no bar code on the tag on mine probably not later than mid 80's I' m guessing.(emphasis on the probably and the guessing). With some steaming and brushing, the velour is starting to feel a bit nicer. Looks like I spoiled myself for velour with the Peschel though...
