Debut of my restored Knox Fifteen Fedora

The first day of wearing my Knox Fifteen since getting it back from a full restoration. Circa mid 1950s era. I shared some photos of this hat before, it was tired, had a torn ribbon, no crown liner and dirty. I had McLaughlin & Hayes make a new ribbon and bow, new crown liner, clean and block the hat. It is a Beaver mix fur felt in a beautiful chocolate color and velvet like texture. Photos don't do it justice. I paid $2.99 for the hat at Goodwill and $150. to have it restored. It was expensive and worth every cent. Shown with Ralph Lauren camel hair coat you've seen before, Ben Silver silk knit tie, random, no name cashmere scarf.
