Buffalo's first sunny day since Thanksgiving calls for some sunscreen. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Celebrating a wee bit of sunshine on the last day of January with this furry green Mallory. The color comes across differently in each photo - the one with it on my head is most accurate. I believe this hat was a Fedora Lounge catch on a forward pass from @buler to @Joshbru3 and then a lateral... -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
I've had that model in "mufflone"... it is one of the few model names that has a direct translation in Italian. Not "fantastic" as we might imagine, but fantesca - a female domestic servant... which helps about as much as not knowing at all. ;^) -
Dating Stetson hat by sweatband logo
Yep, debossed in that orientation it looks to be an early 20th century hat. More pictures would be great. -

Thanks for that added detail B… happy to add this one to my black velour stack. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Mallory velour, generously shared by Brent... his detailed photos are worth a look on the Mallory Mile. 1934- based on union label. -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
A noble experiment worth exploring further. Interesting to see the sweatbands with fine crosshatch pattern - similar to certain (very durable and long lasting) Stetson Fray sweatbands from the early 20th century. -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
The meat of the information to dating a Borsalino label would be underneath the paper tape securing the liner in place - but don't try to remove. The square cut end by the size stamp speaks to a decade or more later than 1948. A lovely inheritance... enjoy it! -

A lovely old bit of furry Mallory joy generously shared with me by Brent. -
THE MALLORY MILE
This is a wonderful hat... as you describe, not velour of the European style, but very supple high quality felt from a historic Danbury CT company. Adding a couple of photos of Jim Ballard's shop on 14th St. in Oakland, CA where the hat was sold. -
Pre 1940s dress hats
This is the softest, most luxurious velour felt I have had the good fortune to handle. It holds a shape nicely despite the soft hand, but you wouldn't want to hike through tree branches wearing it. Private label made by Anton Peschel for Oviatt's sometime prior to WWII. -
Turquoise/Native American jewelry
I've shown some of these over the years but took a few minutes to make this composite photo of Navajo silver pins. All of these are imprinted with stamp of the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild, with the exception of the stylized naja which I received from my mother-in-law... something she picked up...- alanfgag

Western, anyone?
Thanks. This hat was made sometime during the 1920s to early 1930s. It was quite soiled when found, cleaned and restored by a long time FL member. -
Thank You
Feeling thankful today and everyday for the hat whisperers and hat caretakers who hang out around this place. A special shout out to @Joshbru3 and @Garrett who, restoring this old Stetson for a custom project, decided it was just too beautiful not to keep as it was originally meant to be and... -
Turquoise/Native American jewelry
I made a little more space to display some tourist era cuffs that I don't wear much... came across this one which I think I'll enjoy more having close at hand.- alanfgag

Berets, Anyone?
ps… Daan, any stock remaining on the Merino d’Arles beret? My daughter wore mine during our Thanksgiving holiday and it was a struggle to get it back…
