Fedora brim width???
So this hat came in today, the one I mentioned in post 23 (Also posted in the New Hat thread). Might be a bit more Sinatra than Bogey, but i I like it. Certainly good for Jazz concert anyway! -
Post New Hats Here!
Came in the mail today, not familiar with the maker but it seems like good quality, very nice snappy brim. Thinking early 60s. Needs a good brushing and the sweat can probably use a little conditioning. Not quite my dream hat, but I kinda like it, bit of a Sinatra feel. Fills the wait for a... -

THE MALLORY MILE
Thanks! Curiouser and Curiouser as Alice said. But thankfully a really interesting rabbit hole to have fallen through. Just been searching through even more ads on Pinterest and reading Mallory’s history, really fascinating stuff and seems Mallory is quite well respected around here. -
THE MALLORY MILE
Please forgive a newbie’s questions, but I read through the entire thread and looked around online and was curious if there were any lists of the different models Mallory put out over the years (ie: the X, XV, the Dallas). Stetson and Dobbs are pretty well covered but Mallory seems a little... -
THE MALLORY MILE
That and that crown, reasonably boxy and 5 in with the current shape in it…I tend to think it was either an old school shape made in the late 50’s/60’s or something made a little earlier. Or, possibly something that sat on the shelf and was sold as last year’s model, explaining the square box... -
THE MALLORY MILE
Yeah, if it is it would be baby’s first Cavanagh! I’m thinking mid 50s because from what I’ve been able to glean the later 50s and 60s liner logos looked a little closer to the mid-century mod design style. Also, I always associate the 60s with smaller dimensions? Hopefully some tags will be... -
THE MALLORY MILE
Yeah, not taking it at face value but it would be cool if true. Again, a picture can only say so much in these cases so wait and see…argh! But it seems in really good condition and while, based on the markings, it’s probably a base model it’s likely to be better felt than most modern production... -

THE MALLORY MILE
Thank you! Pouring through the thread again and I was thinking maybe early 50’s too, late 40s at a stretch. According to the seller the crown is 5 in and the brim is 2 1/4 in which doesn’t seem typical of a 40s hat but based on the liner pic it has to be post Stetson buy-out. Hopefully when it... -
THE MALLORY MILE
Just won this Mallory 15 complete with original box on eBay! Looking forward to its arrival, one of my first ever vintage pieces. Just curious what advice you all would have for putting a date range to it when it gets here? I’ve been looking back through the thread and Googling as much as I can... -
Fedora brim width???
True, though even the derbies back then, at least some of the time, had slightly wider brims than many would associate with them now. Once they were fully a town/city dress hat though those mildly larger brimmed derbies went away. -
Fedora brim width???
Not just Westerns, but Outback’s, Safaris, even gardening hats. A nice wide brim is necessary here most of the year, especially the dog hours of the dog days of high-summer! Sometimes though a shorter snap brim can make you feel cool even if it doesn’t keep you as cool. -
Fedora brim width???
Oh no, no perfection! What’s the fun in that!? But the side I didn’t post an image of is a little flattened so I want to fix that a little and get the diamond a tad more defined. But considering my face shape and height I think that brim width will work out great! -

Fedora brim width???
Won this hat on eBay yesterday, according to the seller it has a 5 in crown and a 2 in brim. I figure after some gentle steaming and shaping it’ll look quite respectable as a Bogart hat on my 5ft 2in tall frame. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
That’s absolutely amazing, great job! -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Yeah, especially the Heritage Deluxe version, worth every penny! -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Moonstone Fed IV on the way into work…don’t let the sun fool you, it’s a rainy day, my weather app said so! -
I love the Fed IV!!
Just curious for those who have evened out the brim of their Feds to no longer be dimensional what your processes were?
