As always Stefan, what a superb array of hats you can conjure up any given week of the year.

Are the ribbon and bow original to the Knox 25, or are they a Steur/Fleur addition. The angle of the bow look familiar somehow :)

What a wonderful hat, John. Great plum looking colour. Love that off kilter bow position.

Hey all!
The Keith Brothers "The Tiger Special" line of hats was, according to the Professor, produced between 1905ish till 1921. That means that mine is now at least one hundred years old.

If I recall correctly a Lounger whose name I forget (but whose knowledge I respect) mentioned that this big, rumpled, "carefully careless" bow was a thing briefly in the late nineteen-teens so I suspect it hit triples a few years back.
The best pics of the insides are posted in the Keith Bros hats and caps thread.
Additional note: my selfie grimace has not suffered from lack of use.
Have a great day!
