I'm guessing early 1940s ... definitely pre Stetson.
Absolutely magnificent felt... the clay we all talk about in a soft light to mid gray.
a delicate overwelt on a 2 3/4"brim.
5 1/2" crown

Good morning. That just woke me up.

This may be the nicest Mallory I have owned.
The early 1940's was a great time for Mallory it appears.
Wonderful felt on this one.

This Mallory is the cat's meow! Everything is just perfect.

40Cal, if you have a chance it would be nice to see the sweatband marks and any tags behind it.

Happy to oblige, buler. The seller took a pic of the sweatband turned inside out to show the reorder label. Always makes me a little sick to see an unreeded band inside out...but it's no worse for it..... fortunately.

I have a very similar one in gray and it's not marked as a Dallas either.

Pristine!

Well...I guess I'm a Mallory Man now. I just found this beauty at a local antique shop.
It's a Mallory Aristocrat

Great hat, looks to be in excellent shape!

I recall seeing the "Dallas" name on a few of the Stetson /Mallory hats. Have you seen it on the pre -Stetson's ? Always curious about these things.

Yes, there are pre-Stetson Dallas hats. I've posted at least one in this thread. Not sure what year we first see them...
