It’s a great hat all around. But that color makes it a standout!

Thanks , Bill. It's a nice medium gray with a purple hue. Hard to photograph accurately.

I don't know if this is the place to post these photos, but I thought Mallory fans may like to see them. An elderly friend of my wife worked as a fur cutter as a young woman, in Danbury. She was kind enough to loan me some of her books. These are pictures of the Mallory factory.

My wife's friend has shared a few stories. The company she worked for sold most of their fur to the McLachlin hat Co. Her father was plant manager.

Thought this thread deserves some attention. Although posted many pages ago, my Mallory XV with a shark's gill and wide brim edge.

Arrived yesterday. Post-Stetson Mallory XV with Duplex (Cavanagh) edge.
Crown, 5 1/2"
Duplex Edge, 2 5/8"
A few nibbles scattered throughout; however, other than that, very lightly, if ever, worn.
Very nice, thicker, luxurious grey felt. A joy to steam up and brush, not to mention shape.

Not only the thread, but that hat too deserves some attention. It's a real beauty, Mike.
Super find, Jim. Great proportion and lovely colours. And with the box too. Congrats!

Thank you. While I think the box is contemporaneous with the hat, it has "13.95 7 1/8" scrawled on one side. It could've just been an available to grab when they sold the hat, too.
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
