It’s a great hat all around. But that color makes it a standout!

This is an amazing felt! I have one, slightly newer. It's probably late 40's, post Stetson merge.

They do have some incredible felt. Thanks , Fabio!

Thanks , Bill. It's a nice medium gray with a purple hue. Hard to photograph accurately.

Pre-Stetson Mallory. Unreeded sweat and felted edge.

Total beauty!

I don't know if this is the place to post these photos, but I thought Mallory fans may like to see them. An elderly friend of my wife worked as a fur cutter as a young woman, in Danbury. She was kind enough to loan me some of her books. These are pictures of the Mallory factory.

My wife's friend has shared a few stories. The company she worked for sold most of their fur to the McLachlin hat Co. Her father was plant manager.

Have you restored this one yet? I've been going through some old threads this morning and noticed this one. I think I'll drag out my XV for tomorrow.

Thought this thread deserves some attention. Although posted many pages ago, my Mallory XV with a shark's gill and wide brim edge.

Arrived yesterday. Post-Stetson Mallory XV with Duplex (Cavanagh) edge.
Crown, 5 1/2"
Duplex Edge, 2 5/8"
A few nibbles scattered throughout; however, other than that, very lightly, if ever, worn.
Very nice, thicker, luxurious grey felt. A joy to steam up and brush, not to mention shape.

Not only the thread, but that hat too deserves some attention. It's a real beauty, Mike.

Super find, Jim. Great proportion and lovely colours. And with the box too. Congrats!

Thank you. While I think the box is contemporaneous with the hat, it has "13.95 7 1/8" scrawled on one side. It could've just been an available to grab when they sold the hat, too.
