Knox Las Vegas today. I dont regularly wear hats up all the way round, but this little thing just demands I leave the brim alone
Great time of the year to be there.At a cabin in the woods until Sunday morning. Brought two hats. This is one of them.

Thank you! Yes indeed. I did a little digging and from what I read Dobbs and Knox (If I remember correctly) were competing on who could make the lightest hats and Hankachif is the Dobbs version. This one is a hair under 90g. Some of these hats are less than 2/3 of that.Fantastic looking hat!
By the name im guessing its a lightweight felt?
Thank you, Daniele. I almost forgot I had it!From Verona: winner of the second week of October 2026. Fantastico!
Glad my shoes aren't showing on the pictures thenAnother excellent week, Stefan.
I think I've found out why I can never choose a favourite. After having looked at the hats, I find myself going back to check out your jackets and/or coats. Then I go back again to check out your ties. By then, I've forgotten about the hats.
Anyway, the Hückel Prima looks exquisite. Love the ribbon and bow treatment on the Portis. The others are all stand outs in their own right.
The tie you're wearing with the 3x Stetson and Knox is my favourite closely followed by the one you're wearing with the Knox in blue.
As usual, I can't wait till next Sunday![]()
Thanks, Mark.Always love Stefan's Sunday Show of Superlative Beauties! For me this week, the Portis Slant takes the gold, the Knox Westlite takes the silver, and Knox Extra Quality takes the bronze. Thanks for sharing, Stefan!
Thanks, Josh.The Huckel for me this week. Tough call. Love the color on that 3x.
The full package there, Steve. Hat, coat and scarf! Fantastic.1940s Gelot on a very sunny but low temp October day.
Thank goodness for felt season

Lol, I don’t care what it’s called, it’s just a unique and super cool hat!!Sorry for the late post, been a hectic week. This one's labeled as Stetson Casual but lots of folks called it a Tijuana last time I posted pix of it. View attachment 816995 View attachment 816996 View attachment 816997

Man, what a double whammy of goodness from you this morning, Timmy!!!!Stetson Twenty Sovereign with suede finish hangs right next to the Casual so it caught my eye too. Decisions, decisions...what to do ? I don't think I can go wrong with either choice.

John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. VERY eye catching styling, Daniele, and that color!!!!!Fine weather—cold in the morning, yet still mild by midday.
Today’s choice is a hat bearing the "Cervo" brand.

It features a wide brim and a low crown, typical of many Italian hats from the sixties and seventies, though this one feels a bit more contemporary in style.

The felt is soft to the touch, with a semi-suede finish. It comes in a magnificent midnight blue, complemented by a matching felt ribbon.

Lifting the sweatband reveals that the felt is actually"Tonak – Akron Lux"—a material used for some Tonak-branded hats. Such are the complex interconnections within the European hat-making industry;

I own other Tonak hats in this same color and felt type, but this particular one made its way to Italy and was brought to market under the "Cervo" name.
Have a nice day and compliments for your hats in advance
That is an ABSOLUTE winner, Rick!!! Very nice, indeed.Knox Las Vegas today. I dont regularly wear hats up all the way round, but this little thing just demands I leave the brim alone
