Ha! Well, if the hat doesn't suit me or if the multiple ORs and OR clones that I have prove to be too many hats for one man, you will be the first guy I talk to about the hat! It just was delivered today so I have not even tried it on.
I agree. A few spots and stains don't bother me for the most part. If a hat is pristine, then I hesitate to wear it out of fear that I will dirty it up! That's just my OCD manifesting itself a bit.
Ah, I was wondering if this was pre or post-Stetson merger. The only Mallory listed in "The Other Open Roads" thread is the Mallory Dallas. Is the Mallory Dallas model pre-Stetson? Thanks Harv!

Even with the flaws it is a sharp hat and looks good on you. Mine is due to arrive tomorrow so I will be interested to see if mine has any of the issues you are experiencing with your hat.
Up for sale is this new size 7 1/8 modern Stetson Stratoliner dark blue/tan ribbon and bound edge. It is a factory prototype/sample that I recently purchased at the Hatco outlet store in Garland. It is not the standard teardrop crease found in the other modern Stratoliners, but instead has a...
