...and lower case letters in the 60's Mallory.There is also the shift from uppercase HATS to lower hats and the "h" in hats crossing different letters in Mallory. And hats coming and going....

Nice little Mallory, JB, you did a great job with the bash, too.
Extraordinarily beautiful, Josh, and you look dapper wearing it. May I suggest that you keep the current band rather than replacing it with a grosgrain ribbon?
The band is integral to the design of this particular hat, and is reminiscent of the Dobbs GP from that era. Even the color and suede-like texture of the felt is similar to the examples of the GP that I have seen...minus the feather. The bound brim on this Mallory offers a nice contrast to the GP's whip-stitched brim, and makes it more 'wearable', in my opinion.
At any rate, a jaunty and I believe fairly unusual example in wonderful condition. Congrats!
I'm with delectans. Keep the band. It's part of its unique design. Totally Gay Prince like. Beautiful.
