Ephraim Tutt said:I had a gripe about this hat earlier today on the eBay thread. It was desribed as 'gray' and it when it arrived today it turned out to be brown.
Then I put it on.
Most hats take time to feel right, to get used to you and you to it. Not this lid. Sometimes a magical synergy happens and from the moment it ascends your melon it feels like it belongs there. This Mallory is one such hat. From the moment I put it on I didn't want to take it off - so brown or not I love this hat.
I don't know what model it is and I do know it needs a bath, but it's going to be a go-to hat for me.
Proportions:
Brim: 2 1/4 inches
Crown: 5 1/4" uncreased
Ribbon: 1 1/2"
Sweat: Just shy of 2"
Colour: Close to what Akubra calls 'Regency Fawn'
Size 7 1/4
I'm guessing it's late 40's/ early 50's? There's no retailer's stamp on the sweat.
(The spots on the pics are some raindrops).
Mr Tutt... I believe you made your case!
Thats a fine hat!!!
