THE MALLORY MILE

Nice find Buler!

Hat envy.

Found this in a local, high end pre-owned store. Love that a straw can be snapped. I never really though it was possible. I'm happy...might give it a slight pinch, though.

GREAT hat, Monte. Needs no pinch IMHO. Screams classic. And You absolutely ROCK the hat in that photo.
BTW; on mixing patterns, I didn't know there were rules! Thanks for the comment.

Ok, Hats'Rme. I'll leave it classic, despite the screams... I'm just not used to flashy hats like this Mallory. Speaking of that...

Calling all Mallory experts. I'm assuming this hat is all original--so just by dimensions in my last post, shape, bound edge, and cummerbund-like ribbon. Any thoughts on what year it was made? Just curious.
Grainy, black, leather sweat. Original price on label inside is $5.95. Seems low for a nice Mallory straw....must be decades old.

A few decades. I'll hazard a guess of around 1960+. Maybe a more expert set of eyes will correct or confirm this guess.

The l'il cummerbund thingy is a "puggary, puggarree, puggry, or pug," for short. IMHO the overall look of this great straw might be labeled casual, not flashy. But what are you worrying about?! Again, YOU ROCK this style in the photo, Monte!:eusa_clap

 

[Monte]

HatsRme, thanx. Casual it is. I just haven't had any straws with a three inch ribbon before.haha
I see you have a formidable collection of lids by looking at your recent pic taken in you hat room, I presume. I've seen an old Penny's Marathon straw sitting around that looked just like mine but it's tiny.

New to me, from fellow lounger, Rabbit (this was posted on page 47, but I am posting it again).

1930s Mallory, heather finish.

 

[jlee562]

Nice heather, Justin. Someone besides Optimo needs to get on those shorthaired heather felts and put them back in the market.

 

[splintercellsz]

Agreed. Such a nice looking finish, definately should be a conversation starter! I wonder how wacky a Heather finish could become. Multi-colored?

 

[Nick D]

Mallory homburg, chocolate brown, needs a new sweatband. Thoughts on date?

 

[theinterchange]

Nice heather, Justin. Someone besides Optimo needs to get on those shorthaired heather felts and put them back in the market.

I was thinking the same thing a few days ago!

Nick, ypur hat screams 30s. Also, yours has the same union label & Mallory Re-order tag as my new 30 Mallory heather posted on the previous page! Sorry to hear about the sweat though.

Very nice new Mallory hats on this thread. On the subject of heather finish, there is this interesting Mallory:

One of my favorite hats on ebay. The seller has relisted it many times, but no one ever goes for it.

John Galt, that Nokabout is superb.

I've posted pics of this one before, but never on this thread.

Mallory Twenty

 

[splintercellsz]

G. That twenty is such a classic hat. Perfect dimensions!

 

[John Galt]

Now that is superb!
