Interesting. So much for that one...carouselvic said:I don't think so. These two Stetsons are only #1 quality and the Dobbs is low end as well.

jimmy the lid said:Here's one that arrived yesterday. It's a Mallory 10, Premier Quality Pliafelt. Given the lack of reeded sweat, and considering ads that show a Pliafelt Dallas going for $10 in the early 40's, before a post-war price jump, I'm inclined to think this one may date to the early 40's. The feather is original to the hat.
The color is a kind of steel blue, with a lavender undertone. In fact, the color of the wind cord itself is lavender. Sweat is in great shape, and the felt is a medium thickness -- just beautiful to the touch. Part of me wants to send this off to Optimo for cleaning -- the other part doesn't want to risk anything going wrong with the sweat and wind cord on a hat of this vintage. Matching felt ribbon, with an interesting treatment...
Cheers,
