Thanks! I knew you would like this one, Rick. This is not my favorite style, but I have to say this is a great hat to wear and perfect for the day!

Lovely color to brighten up the season, Daniele.
Also to brighten up everyone’s day is the story of your friend, the dentist in Biella, who presented a prosthetic arm to the vaccine nurse. Despite getting caught, he gets top marks for creativity!!

Knox Twenty - Grey
5 inch crown as shaped
2 1/4 inch brim with Custom Edge
2 1/8 black grosgrain ribbon
Here is the travel partner of yesterday’s Panama. While the Muse’s Panama was definitely the show stopper.. The Knox Twenty is still certainly no slouch. Now I never before had a hat arrive covered in rain protection… I was quite surprised that underneath this was still on of the dustiest hats I’ve encountered. Not visually dirty.. but man did I brush a pile of dirt out of this thing which did help to awaken the felt a bit. Now certainly not all Knox Twenty are made the same and my brown early 50s twenty is one of my most robust hats. I would guess this one to be more mid to late 1950s as dimension wise this is a slightly less substantial hat. The brim comes in at 2 1/4 instead of 2 1/2 and the crown seems a tad smaller. Interestingly while the crown currently sits at just under 5 inches as shaped. The manufacturing tag indicates 4 1/8…. So I am guessing it used to sport a much deeper center dent. It does still have the Knox logo wind trolley though for whatever reason this one seems to be for show as the entire string is not attached and is just looped around for show. I’m not sure if that is original or if a previous owner just cut it off and tied it that way. Either way it is no deal breaker for me as I have yet to actually use any of my wind trolleys and as such are always just for show for me. Proportion wise these dimensions actually work quite well for me and make a very comfortable and wearable hat. While my older brown Knox Twenty is quite the specimen… this grey Knox Twenty is really quite the daily wear kind of hat for me. Thank you goes out to @BobHufford for alerting me to both the great hats from the last two day.

^^^^^ That’s a winner Joe (@Blare ) !
Fantastic, Panos. Great hat and lovely pics.Snow has come to stay in Scandinavia...only the JHS velours can help fighting the winter blues
Another "Prima" "Alpha" velour, black of course View attachment 384435 Though similar, very different compared to my other "Prima". Similar thickness, density and finish but softer crown and deeper brim flanging (nearly flat brim on the back-bow one) allowing for an upbrim look View attachment 384436 Probably lower quality leather (less texture and thinner) sweatband but considerably softer View attachment 384437
Who said one (or a dozen) black velour(s) is enough?View attachment 384438
Enjoy the mild temperatures and the sun those that you still can... View attachment 384439 View attachment 384440
Very nice, Bob.
That's a winner!

Let's say that this time the word creativity rhymes with stupidity
Good day Charlie and beware of too creative Italians

I thought so! That should be the second "Egeo" we see? The other one is a big size one posted from Daniele recently?
That's right. Not a common colour for Barbisio, but they had as much variation in their colours as they had in their models.
