Got this one a while ago. Mallory fifteen. Looks 1940? I hadn't seen that liner before. I find it interesting. Anyone know about it?

I dig the felt and ribbon combination. Forgive my ignorance, is there a model name on the hat?

Hahaha. Brent, if you're hat-ignorant, where does that leave me? [emoji5]

All I know is that the listing said it was an Imperial Stetson with a suede finish (I didn't have one) that I really liked the shape, proportions and colors, and that the seller (who is a fellow Lounger that I've bought from before) said that the liner, sweatband and ribbons are excellent.
It has a shallow moth nibble under the brim, but I think that will get shallower with some sandpaper if the felt is thick enough. I will leave that to Ignacio to judge.

Was the sole bidder on this Stetson Nutria quality western.

Despite what the seller says, it looks like there is a size tag there, and those measurements look too big to actually be a size 7, so there's a good chance you'll find this popping up in the classifieds here next week. :p

That’s some sort of score. I hope it fits you.

Isn't it curious that so many old Stetsons have a connection to Reno, Nevada? Maybe Justin's time machine can travel in time, but not in space, like the one in The Time Machine movie.

It’s not flashy, but it’s not one of those “just like every other fedora” hats. Know what I mean?

This is the understated elegance I’m looking for:
