Very nice hat, Steve. And great looking jacket, too.
Thanks, Michael. It's a Burberry. Label says, "Made in West Germany", so it's probably from the 80s.

Love it Steve. It seems very malleable indeed. Now as far as I remember you still have one more you picked up from Bob that we haven't yet seen ?Finally getting round to posting this ca. early 1950's Mallory Country Club I picked up from Bob. Thanks Bob!
I've often heard the phrase "clay like felt" used on the FL. This Mallory has really made me understand the meaning of that term. Super malleable felt.
I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking.
Anyone know anything about the store it was sold in? Location for example? Or were they a chain?

You are welcome sir! Looks great on you.
The store was in Pittsburg, Kansas. The hat was bought nearby in Joplin, Missouri at an estate auction. @Redfokker and @drmaxtejeda have a couple of the other hats from that auction.

Coulter-McGuire's Mens Clothing (508-510 N. Broadway) opened in 1910 by O. E. Coulter and H. A. McGuire at 408 N. Broadway and sold men's items ranging from work clothes, suits, hats and gloves to men working in the mines, on the railroad or the many banks and businesses throughout the area. They moved to the location in the postcard in about 1930. O. E. Coulter retired in 1947 turning the business over to his sons Robert J. Coulter and Kenny Coulter. Kenny became sole ownership of the business upon the death of Robert in September of 1970. The interior was destroyed during a a fire in 1970 but was remodeled and reopened. The business closed in 1979.

I must admit that I feel both inspired and intimidated by this site. My hats just aren’t worthy...but I am getting there slowly...and you can only wear what you’ve got. Tonight it was a Bailey pork pie. My wife wore her new Complit. View attachment 210104 View attachment 210105
