What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

The Mallory Ten - Premier Quality
Taupe to Very Light Milk Chocolate felt
5 3/4 Crown open - 5 1/4 as shaped
1 3/4 Burgundy grosgrain ribbon
2 3/4 brim with half inch rose gold grosgrain binding

I should have memorialized my guess for this mystery hat from a few weeks back that finally arrived today with its travel partner. Based on the sellers only photo of the top... I was convinced Mallory. As it seemed to echo the styling of the dark brown Mallory “whippet clone” that arrived a couple weeks ago. It is in fact The Mallory Ten and the styling may take from Whippets cues... but this is a bit bigger hat at a 2 3/4 brim. The color is sort of taupe to very light chocolate milk with soft thin felt. A good sized crown at 5 3/4. The ribbon offsets with a dark burgundy which is hard to capture correctly in the photos and a half inch contrasting rose gold brim binding. The 1817 logo date indicates post 1946 Stetson takeover... and the OPS tag narrows it as 1951 to 53 with a $10 selling price putting right in the Whippet market. Heavy brushing cleaned it up very well. But it might could use some work with a damp rag... and possibly some light sanding to remove the subtle foxing on the felt. But all and all quite a hat!

Commencing more of TAR (thin a$$ ribbon) hat wearing I present my mornings hats.

Early morning dog soirée in a De Luxe Stetson Stratoliner.

A thin ribbon Stetson Stratoliner was called upon for tasks (filling feeders and moving that pesky branch from the driveway). A small saw was needed for this task.

Finally another TAR hat for sipping coffee on the deck. I was wearing a caramel hued Stetson Stratoliner.

Cheers on a TAR morning, Eric -

Excellent hat and the rewards of moral mushrooms speak volumes. I foresee some terrific meals in the immediate future.

Excellent hat and jacket and the plaid shirt reveal continues.


I went out for an essential errand for coffee. A light snow burst caught me and my TAR fedora. A chose a Stetson Open Road for my errand.

Cheers on a TAR kind of day here in Minnesota, USA, Eric -
