VINTAGE FEDORA: NEW LINING, SWEATBAND, RIBBON: CAVANAGH EDGE: MALLORY? 7 3/8, (58/59cm) RARE

200 - shipping included CONUS
Would consider trades

For consideration is one vintage Fedora that has been fully restored and ready for daily wear. The lining, sweatband, and ribbon have all been reworked to bring this vintage piece to life. As you can see from the pictures this hat is in great condition and elicits a wonderful vintage charm that only pieces from a bygone era can. The hat contains the ever desired Cavanagh edge treatment...often considered the epoch of edge treatments for hats. I purchased this new a few years ago and I believe was told the hat began life as a Mallory 15 or something very similar. That said if you're wanting a vintage piece with all the original pieces intact than I suggest you consider other options. However, if you want a hat that is ready to wear with all the modern 'innards' than this would be a most welcome option. The only area I noticed that had any material loss is on the underside of the brim (see pic). Its a small area that one would have to look closely to see. Overall whoever ends up with this will have a timeless staple in their rotation. Details pertaining to the hat are as follows:
  • Vintage Mallory Fedora
  • Size 7 3/8 (58/59cm)
  • 1 3/4 inch sides
  • 2 inch front and back
  • 4 inch crown
  • Teardrop bash
  • 2 inch black ribbon with bow
  • New lining & sweatband
  • Original Cavanagh edge
  • Initials 'SPF' stamped on inside
  • Can be worn brim up or down to equal aplomb
The only reason I'm letting this piece go as my style interests have changed and its time for this to go to a new home. Please review the pictures for additional detail, and thanks for looking.
