    THE MALLORY MILE

    More photos from my Mallory Homburg in Post #328 - looks like post 1934 based on the Union tag and price of $6. Has anyone ever seen the leather sweatband marked before - in this case Brandt Leather? Thanks!

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    Yes, James, no problem, what was that address again? What? You're fading . . . . . We seem to have a bad connection . . . . . . . :D

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    I obtained two bottles of Glenlivet 12 year old from my mom's house that I believe have been there, unopened and sealed, since the 1970s. Sipping a glass right now it seems very good - better than I remember this brand being. I know the consensus is that Scotch does not age in the bottle and...

    Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?

    Trying to look all tough (and failing) before a 1930s big band and auction event but I like these sunglasses. [/IMG] Dillinger Days at work, ditto on the sunglasses

    Harrington Baracuta makers?

    I did a search and found a few posts and it is clear the original Made in England G9 is the best but they are too expensive for this country boy. Are there others that can be had for cheaper that are almost as good? I saw a Van Heusen "tailored in Taiwan" with the same Baracuta name tag that...

    THE MALLORY MILE

    Early to mid-1930s would be just fine, thanks! I'll see if I can find the ads posted earlier here. John

    THE MALLORY MILE

    I appreciate the replies! As far as Famous and Barr's history I found this that contradicts Wiki: http://www.historyhappenedhere.org/details.php?id=63 which seems to suggest 1911 as the time they merged into the former Famous building at 6th and Washington. I'll do a little more research...

    THE MALLORY MILE

    Ok, I've been doing some reading of the "Mallory Mile" and other old hat threads here at the FL and I think my homburg (above) is a pre-1946 hat as it has the 1823 date on the top of the inside and on the sweat and not the Stetson 1817 date. The sweat is not readed which means possibly older...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Don't ask me why but I had to have this Mallory Homburg. I don't like the front pinch but overall the hat looked good. I been wanting to take the Homburg plunge and this one also looked old to me and was sold by a store my mom used to go to in the 1930s when she was a kid living in St. Louis...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I won this dark gray Stetson 3X Beaver fedora with a mode edge. I was thinking 1940s. Is that about right? Why wouldn't it have a model name, like Royal or Imperial? Thanks! John Oh man, lefty beat me to it. And I hope that it's dark gray.

    The Black Hat Brigade

    We were watching the Thin Man again last night (that movie never gets old) and now that I'm a black hat owner I was noticing how many there were in the movie. Lt. Guild wears one throughout, so does the gigolo boyfirend (a Homburg I think) and other extras. Even Nick wears one with a light...
