Hi Buler
Do you think Mallory 10 the “10” indicates a model or a quality price point in which case the premier quality might be more of a marketing label than a quality standard
Hi Jon. I've seen "The Ten" on the sweatband of several styles of Mallory's. Both fedora and homburg. So I think of it as a price point more than a model. As far as the quality designations they used, I'm still trying to compile a list of those by date to sort them out. They probably had some relevance to the quality of the hat but were just as much a marketing tool.
