A Dallas is still one I'm missing in my collection. Looks great, Joe.

Mallory The Dallas
Silvermist felt
3/8 silver grosgrain ribbon
4 3/4 crown to peak as shaped
2 1/2 brim with 3/16 matching grosgrain binding
92 grams

The 9th and final entry from the Mystery Box Nine is one that stood out to me right out of the box. Mallory The Dallas is a hat I’ve had my eye on for quite a bit but hadn’t found the right hat or deal. The Dallas appears to be Mallory’s take on the Stetson Stratoliner and wow did they get this one right. Most of The Dallas I’ve come across have been in a warmer Silverbelly felt... this one is in a colder light Silvermist coloring with silver grosgrain thin ribbon and binding. Though it is not indicated by name this Mallory is also an unlined lightweight felt coming in at the exact same 92 grams as the Champ Featherweight.. or apparently 2 1/2 packs of cigarettes... if that is the standard. The only blemishes are a handful of unfortunate moth nibbles on the brim and side of the crown right over the ribbon. Though not too significant... they are fairly visible on this color of felt. The previous owner had a few strips of paper towels under the sweat which have this 7 1/8 fitting perfectly for me.

It has been a lot of fun revealing the Mystery Box 9. Some real gems in this bunch. I believe the final three and hat number 1.. the Black Playboy all can make their case to claim the top spot.
