THE MALLORY MILE

[Redfokker]

Hey everyone!
I've wanted a brown 'burg for a while now, so the other day I decided to finally pull the trigger on this one that has sat in my Etsy faves list for a couple of months. It arrived today. Very clean, no off smells. Popped right out to open crown with no steam or moisture needed, with very little of a ghost bash, and creased nicely into a center dent dry.

Crown 5 1/2" as creased, brim 2 3/8" front and back, 2" on the sides(with curl).
The felt is very nice and soft, medium weight. The sweatband, while soft, most likely will need replacing at some point as the stitching is fragile. A small section of stitches gave way as I looked under the band for more tags and stickers. Good thing I know who makes a good sweatband!
My guess as to age is late 40's to early 50's, as it has a cloth tag but the 1817 liner logo. Will wear it tomorrow if the rain stops. I'm sure the rich brown will show better in the sun.

Good looking brim curl.

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

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
