Gorgeous hat in a very unique felt hue. Thanks for sharing.

I like the hat and shirt combo today. You have been breaking out some grand shirts of late.

Morning dog soire in a gray thin ribbon fedora.

Thanks Eric. Mostly LLBean and Pendleton shirts, I like the plaids. Not much sweater weather here the last few weeks but it's still April, so....

Gorgeous hat, Greg. I like how you've put in a "softer" looking cattleman crease in that one.

Thank you, Stefan. I really like the crease as well; so much so that I haven’t touched it as it came to me with this crease.

Chillin' on a Saturday afternoon under the Stetson Pikes Peak.

1st post BTW

WElcome to the Lounge. Nice start.

Give Gannon and Wolfbrae a look too. Wolfbrae is great as his hats are a bargain since he’s just starting out. Gannon...I don’t think you can do much better even if you’re willing to pay four times his price.

Dittos cubed.

After the weather in Tampa last night delivered the first severe weather delay in WrestleMania’s 37 year history. Tonight the weather threaten to be no better but let up in time. With WrestleMania taking place at Raymond James Stadium the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the appropriate hat it seems would be @Short Balding Guy Stetson Buccaneer. However without Eric’s fine hat in my collection I went to the next best thing. Stetson Musketeer. Cheers!

Do ya ever get the itch to get in the mix with a folding chair?

We need to find a third Musketeer so we can go on an adventure.

Knice Knox. Now I don't feel so bad about my late post, LOL.

Would it be bad if I said yes?

Then again that dissipates when I think of getting hit with one.


The Three.......... no.. TWO Musketeers

Wonderful, Max!

C & K "Eiderdown". I think Anthony said it was 1930s, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, it is one of my faves. Light as air. View attachment 326175 View attachment 326176 View attachment 326177 View attachment 326178 View attachment 326179 View attachment 326180 View attachment 326181

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!

Here is the original seller photo...

Back tomorrow with the mystery OR style hat...

Thanks Brent... very happy with this one. Just a bit over my current comfort zone.... but that’s a good thing.
