Here are a few pics of the AB Herbert Johnson and the Christy's hat together. I'm not so sure it is the same felt..the Christy's is a bit thicker and stiffer. At least my Christy's is. Although the pics don't show too well, they are actually slightly different in color as well. The Christy's is the unbashed-

Great looking hats. The difference in the feel is probably due to the fact that Steve reconditions the felt in the HJ's he makes.

Nice side-by-side, Texas. Below, I offer some of my own. The first picture is of the Magnoli, Christys' and Fed IV (in that order). The following four are of the Christys' and Magnoli HJ from side and front. (I've bashed the Christys' as LC-ish).
