Its been a while since my last ebay hat ad "purge", but I decided to go through again and try to find all the ads that havent been seen yet. I'm SURE there are going to be duplicates of some, but some I have never seen before.

Knox Twenty 5.5" x 2 1/2" charcoal w/ 22 L black ribbon, cav edge

This is the twin of Aureliano's Knox Twenty. Heavy, dense felt - a wonderful winter hat.

Not a Knox Twenty but it looks similar...my most recent thrift store rescue:

And here it is in action, after some judicious steaming and brushing:

It's a great colour...sort of grey with a distinct purple/pink cast to it. It has quickly become my current favourite. The only indication of model would be the "Knox Custom" on the liner. The sweatband bears the name of an Ottawa men's shop and a stamp that indicates that it was made in Canada under license.

I thought that it may be time to send this hat to school.

I acquired this Knox 20 recently, and have enjoyed it the short time that I've worn it.

22 ligne crown ribbon in a darker brown than the hat.

My Knox Premier arrived from ebay today. I'm guessing it's late 50s or 60s due to the shorter brim. But how about the logo/lining? Would that also place it in that timeframe?
