I really like that hat, and I think the color and the dimensions/proportions suit you very well; maybe better than any other hat I've seen you in so far. If it were mine I'd probably give it a good brushing and otherwise make sure it was clean enough to wear, but wouldn't worry about it's "dirtied up" appearance. First, because I like hats with that kind of character and would want to preserve it's history as much as possible. Second, because if it's already "dirtied up" I wouldn't be concerned if it got at least a little dirtier.
As for your button/cord questions, almost anyone here is better qualified to answer them than I am but I haven't had good luck with them myself. The cord on my first Campdraft detached itself from the hat the first time I gave it a good tug just to see how reliable it might be, and the cord on my second Campdraft broke (right where it was wound around the button) after a short period of time. Both hats were purchased new, so I've concluded Akubra puts them on for appearances rather than functionality and I'm pleased I didn't wait until my hats might be at risk before putting them to the test.
I’m glad you like the hat Zombie, it is definitely my work hat now. I’m enjoying wearing it to CDL school in the day and then wearing the white Stetson 3X in the evening. And I also really like the dimesnions/proportions in me, so much so I’m on the lookout for another Mallory Dallas that might be a bit dressier (i.e., cleaner).
Considering this was a Mallory Twenty I don’t reckon the wind cord was meant to be aesthetic like on the Akubras, though I could be wrong. It certainly works now - I’ve been using it all day in 20-25 mph winds!
Nice looking...we would love a hat with a "elf" label on it !There is more of this wrll-loved Tirard Frères "ELF" bowler in the French Hats and Makers Makers thread.

Home run Fred! Although I loved the vintage band, this new one is really showy. It should get some attention. That hat has a great weave.

What ever they want to call it from Stetson, it sure looks like the Bon Ton Ivy I have been looking for on a boater.

Way to make a grand entrance Chas! Welcome to the lounge and WOW! What a great hat. Liner and sweat logo shots would be very appreciated.

Thanks for the kind words gents. Handling a great new condition vintage hat is an experience in a time machine.

I don't recall if I ever posted this and I'm sure as heck not going to go looking for it.
My Brass Rooster Vintage 125 made from a 1953 Mallory hood. Good luck trying to find a taupe hat today! There will be a matching light blue (unless I pick another color) in my future.

A blue label, nice. Interesting stitching holding in the tip liner. Probably from a repair somewhere in this hat's history.

New today, early 1960s Dobbys 2" brim with a TAR. Nice felt for the era, looks to be almost NOS. This hat will be a companion to a Dobbs I found on Ebay early in my hat addiction. The difference is the ribbons, same hat, only different choice on the store shelf.
