If it's not dirtying your head, leave as is, I say. For me, it's part of its history. I know if you do switch liners Stefan, it will be a great one. Can I have the old one? [emoji4]

Both great styling, Stefan!
Barbisio Granito in Umbria colour. Qualitá Extra in a size 56 with the overwelt brim at 6cm and the crown 10,5cm at the center dent. This one has a special grid-like finish which I've never seen before (allright it's a waffle finish). You'd think it'd be a bit too much, but it's remarkably wearable.

I was wondering when you’d get around to posting that one. Very nice!

A Mallory Ten from a store in New York and a boater from Famous Barr in St. Louis that I didn't catch the brand name on. The boater fits me at 7-1/2 (although it sits on top of my "tall" long-oval head), but the Mallory (7-1/4) was too cool a color (darker green than shown) to pass up. It will be trade bait. They belonged to the seller's Grandfather (boater) and Great-Grandfather (Mallory). Came in a Cavanagh box. More pics tomorrow as they are hiding in my truck right now.

That dark green Mallory looks like a dream. I’ve wanted a dark forest green hat for a long time.

More on the Mallory...
As found with dust intact. The photo brim up in box is the closest to the color.

Good gosh, Bob. That's a gorgeous hat.
Gentlemen, thank you very much. It is a cool looking hat. Took quite a while to make it to my doorstep, but worth it.
Great find, Bob (even if it is green
).

Very nice pickups. Driving down from Springfield this weekend I was tempted on stopping by those huge antique stores off the highway, but I wanted to get home, so I will make it a weekend trip with my wife. Not sure if I'll find anything, but the drive alone is worth it[emoji106]

Love the ribbon color you selected.
I would leave the liner too, A Classic Painting - St. George Slaying the Dragon....

Just picked up this Courtney hat from Goodwill. I like having some of the lesser known brands, and after some research, there is a thread on them here, but not a lot of info. Appears to have been a brand made specifically for the Harry Levinson Hat Co in Indianapolis. There is speculation that they were made by Lee because of the DuPont Process. Quality is pretty good with heavy, dense, yet soft felt, and the stitching is very good. Definitely a subpar sweatband though. Only $8, so what the heck.
Some pretty interesting history on Harry Levinson too, they are the ones that dropped all of the Straw Hats over the city with little parachutes, to start the Straw Season starting in 1934. Anyone getting one could exchange it for one in their size. Apparently a successful advertising gimmick until the Indianapolis Police Dept shut it down in the 50’s.
