Excellent looking hat Justin. A name like Wilson Distinctive Styles seems like a retailer, might be another maker branded for Wilson. Hope you find some clues.

Justin, that was a brand made by Mallory. I have some sales planners that were posted in the Mallory Madness thread that showed hats from Wilson. Unfortunately those pics were lost in the photobucket debacle. I will be rebuilding that thread during the winter. Should be a great hat!

Darn. I was hoping you'd found a tree that grows hats.

Was the high bidder on this Marathon earlier today. Seller says 1940s but I have no idea. Can’t find much information on dating these Penny Marathons. It looks pretty dirty. Hoping it cleans up.

I couldn’t find a thread on Marathons. Maybe one should be started?

Thanks Moon. I have had a couple fedoras in this color get by me over the last year. I’m glad I was finally able to score one. Now if I just had that teal Lee I missed a few weeks ago!

That's a beauty Bill. I saw it but didn't bid. Glad you got it.

Won this lot. Both have moth nibbles, but I'm interested in the vita which should fit, over the smaller sized stratoliner

Picked up this Marathon on the bay.

Very nice condition. The liner is a later design with the big "M". Probably early 1960s?

Somebody who is 7 1/8 should BIN this. It's a stupid good deal. I don't know if the hat matches the box, but this is a cool Stetson heathered felt:

This seller has some great deals on vintage clothing. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of this cut, but I can recognize the steal of a purchase to be had here.

I can't believe it's still sitting there. If I were a size smaller, it would be gone. Heck, the box alone is pretty rare.

I'm almost mad somebody hasn't picked it up. Like, I had a straight up Indiana Jones moment looking at that one: "It belongs in a museum!!!" Or, you know, in the hands of a lounger.
