Wearin my new heavenly Mallory today!
Even the heavens this morning seem to agree.
The colors of this hat are exquisite!!
I couldn’t be happier if dipped in red eye gravy with a tub of fresh biscuits nearby!
By a wide margin, my new favorite.
Which is really sayin a lot, these days.

Holy cow that Mallory is angelic on you! No metaphor intended: with the light hitting you just right you look almost transcendental. Amazing!

More of the new Gannon.
I’ll try to get some different hats up the rest of the week but this fellow and I had our maiden walkabout just now and I really do adore him. More particulars on the Gannon thread.
Happy Monday folks (although I guess it’s Tuesday somewhere!). October has finally arrived.

Today and yesterday…
Stetson 3X Beaver Quality Western - Pecan
6 inch crown open (about 5 1/2 as shaped)
3 1/2 raw edge brim
5/8 braid fabric hat band
Embroidered Last Drop Liner
My guiding wisdom with this hat.. is that I just could not pass up a 1950s 3X western in such a beautiful pecan color for under $20.. be it a size or two too large… or about 5 sizes too small. This hat was sold as a 6 1/4, I assume due to the number 6 written in pencil on the back of the 1/4 size tag. I suspected by the proportions in the photos and the percentage odds more than likely this would come in at 7 1/4 (I believe a 6 1/4 hat of this quality would probably be about as rare as a 7 3/4… even if far less desirable). So I had to take a swing either way… at 7 1/4 it sits in the outside range of what I can pull off reasonably well and at 6 1/4 it makes a nice conversation piece (or maybe to hold for a future grandchild?). I’m happy to report it is in fact a 7 1/4…. And even though this is one big hat in it’s proportions I have been happily wearing it out and about for the past couple days. I wouldn’t want to wear it on a windy day without a bit of padding to tighten the fit a bit… but otherwise it fits fairly well… doesn’t slop around really at all.
I absolutely love the pecan color of the felt… the unusual braided fabric hat band that is stitched in place and the embroidered last drop liner. The hat is just about pristine outside a small red stain under the brim.. that looks like maybe lipstick. I don’t think the hat has ever had any side dents or pinch just this center dent… but I think it really works. The stars in the sweat logo often points to late 40s to early 50s. I think this size tag more early to mid 50s… and the manufacturer tag also.. I believe 1950s…. Leaves me to estimate early to mid 1950s dating.

Finishing up the Poodle Corral (fencing in the side yard) in a well patina-ed straw from the thrift store. The now gray ribbon was originally dark green.
