Thank you... youth and smarts, both things I can use more of! I think I'll wear this one today before the heat sets in.
Fantastic, post-Stetson-takeover Mallory, Alan! It is, along with my old Dobbs, the most beautiful thing I have seen from Batavia! lol
... very soft but formable felt, my first Mallory.
Beautiful hat, and that Pliafelt is really amazing to the touch.
So this is a bowler after Stetson purchased Mallory. Nice color and bowler still. I collect the Youthful Smartness Mallory when purchasing Mallory hats.
I like those Beaver Brand hats, do you have pics of those on your head? The bowler looks cool (pun intended)
especially for summer wear. I like the light color on it.
Thanks, Perry. I'm fond of them too, but the more I experience high quality and/or vintage fedora felts (I'm still relatively new in that department), the stiffer the BB's seem.
Here are some noggin shots taken sometime during the past 7 months:
