SOME NEW HATS

[Dinerman]

Not that there's anything wrong with a welt[huh]

 

[DOUGLAS]

Oh no I actually like it. It is very narrow and is similar to the one on my Ten. It is a cool detail.

 

[Dinerman]

probably helps keep the brim shape, too.

Regulation three rows stitching like the M1889 Campaign hat.

That open road looks like it also has the three rows of stitching on the brim

 

[DOUGLAS]

I know, I am really excited to see that one. I need that color and it looks so damn good. I just hope the sweat stiching is strong.

And they Shed Showers to boot. Its not wonder why I like Mallorys. I am even wearing my The Dallas today.

 

[DOUGLAS]

For over all quality and style Mallory is in my top three companies. I wore the Homburg last night in the rain and it certainly sheds.

Mine tend to do the same thing. Ah the day when a company's products actually did as advertised.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Those days are long gone I'm afraid.It is a shame really. I enjoy wearing my hats in the rain the harder the better. It gives me an opportunity to do some tweeking.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes the rain will make the felt even better or the shape even better after a little nudge here and there.

This just came in. It may not be as old as some of the other Mallorys I have but the color and overall shape make up for its youth. I dig the underwelt too.

I will get a better pic of the welt stiching and the color on a sunny day.

Douglas: So that's the blue Mallory you got last week! Wow, that sure looks nice. Great catch! I only wish I could have gotten that blue Knox that was out there at the same time. Congratulations!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Cheers!

Douglas: The Playboy is a superb hat (that's news...) and looks great on
you-would look ok on me, too. If you ever decide to maybe ah,
fuggetahboutit. Enjoy. I'll simply spend my remaining years looking for one
like everyone else with an eye for the simple, elegant,timeless old hat.

Tough coveting your hats. You have so many, and they're all so good- I'm
looking forward to the day you produce a compilation of your collection; that's
going to be a real treat...sign me up for a copy.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Yeah, I am a bit over due for a showing. It has been a while since I marched some out.

 

[DOUGLAS]

OOPS

I did it again. This should be a nice hat and my first Stephen L. Stetson.

It looks to very thin.

 

[Dinerman]

Beautiful, Douglas.

 

[DOUGLAS]

I hope it is as good as it looks. As I write I am opening the Open Road box and WOW is it nice!!!!

 

[Dinerman]

How Nice?
You know I'm dying to see pictures of this one, Douglas.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Give me a bit and I will get some Photos up. NICE!!

EARLIER OPEN ROAD

It is strange how style changes within one model. This is a nice hat. Medium thin,unlined and an unreeded sweat. There was some stiffener in it at some point but it has been worked out with use. I can see how the brim stitching can add some stability to the shape. The hat fits perfectly.
