Robert, That hat is amazing / unique even with the moth damage! I don't remember seeing that on the auction photos. My guess -> meant to be worn open crown?
Probably correct. Makes for an interesting Montana Peak though.Robert, That hat is amazing / unique even with the moth damage! I don't remember seeing that on the auction photos. My guess -> meant to be worn open crown?
Gary White made this hat for me. It is brown, %100 Beaver. It has a wonderful rare Cavanagh edge.
Gary White made this hat for me. It is brown, %100 Beaver. It has a wonderful rare Cavanagh edge. This is a very special hat as Cavanagh edged hats have not been made since at least Circa 1960s I believe. It has the EXACT taper that I wanted. This hat has a 2 1/8 inch brim and a one inch matching ribbon. The crown is exactly 5 inches open crowned. The bow was special made for me by Gary White. I will post more when I come off vacation.
Here is the Mallory 10 that I just purchased from ebay. This hat is in immaculate condition and a great addition for me.

Aureliano, I will post some pictures once I get back to Vermont. They are older bodies, not stripped hats. He does not have many in my size (2 other colors), they have been picked over through the years. He bought hundreds of them (I think he said 1000) when the factory was going out of business.

Nice hat, and it looks good on you.
I haven't seen you posting much lately, so I haven't had a chance to let you know. I've been drinking a fair amount of the Aberlour you recommended in Monteagle. I recently purchased a new bottle of it. It's interesting how it varies from one bottle to the next. Thanks for the recommendation. I like it.
Greyfox, I think that a grey hat with a grey beard really looks sharp. They complement each other. Have you tried various other types of dents and creases to see what fits the hat best? You look great.
