Great find Mike! I have a feeling Brent might be the lucky one here as well ... if so, it's about time he got a hat that fits. (Hold out for a good trade ... and a hat to be named later)

This is NOT my hat, but I felt it needed to be in this thread:

Absolutely gorgeous Mallory that I've been salivating over since it was listed. I think the asking price is a bit off-market, however.

Not a lot of comps to use in determining market price. If the sweatband was in better condition I’d buy it.

I think if it was begun at a lower price, it would top out at between $200 - $250. I really don't believe it will sell this afternoon.

Welp, swing and a miss there.

Hope it is someone here…has anyone see Max?

Don't think so. His coded ID on eBay always shows the same for me, 4***4. This one is showing 8***p.

The Mallory Ten. The felt is fantastic! The brim is 2 5/8” and not 2 3/4” as stated, but other than that it’s just as described. What I thought was a felted edge, and what still looks like a felted edge from the top, turned out to be one of the nicest underwelts I’ve ever seen. The open crown is approximately 5 1/2 inches and the ribbon is just barely over one inch wide.

It is an interesting overwelt for sure with some "ventilation" in the welt itself. Looks like someone was happy to trim the excess brim off with pinking shears. I might have to put this on the list of things to try in the future. I already have pinking shears the question is did them trim it before or after sewing it down?

Great looking lid!

Nice welting. Looks like a 3-thread overlock stitch to me. My assumption is that the overclocking is done prior to the welt being made and then is stitched down, but who knows maybe there was a machine that did all that in one process. Fantastic hat.

Do I correctly detect that some of the welting varies in the width of the welt? It is sure damn hard to keep the welting on super tight tolerances and it would make me feel better if a company like Mallory also had some variance
