This campaign has been going on in Cuenca, Ecuador, for a few months now and I'm thinking hat makers and sellers could do something similar here in the U.S. to drum up interest in the marketplace.

This is a 1950's Mallory, post Stetson acquisition, with a teardrop crease 4-3/8" at front pinch, real nice hand to the medium grey-to-charcoal felt, black ribbon, 2-1/2" bound brim that matches the felt color for $130 plus $12 - $17 shipping to the lower USA.
Size 7-1/2 but fits my 23-3/8"...
Late 50s to early 60s Stetson Twenty "The Sovereign" in dark brown with a copper colored ribbon, mode edge (felted edge/Cavanagh Edge), 2-1/4" brim width, center crease 4-1/4" at the front pinch for $145 plus $12 - $17 shipping in the lower USA.

The hat is tagged 7-5/8. The 7-1/2 was too small for me, and this one is too big. My hat size runs between...
I picked this up a little over a year ago from a shop in Ecuador. I have only ever worn it for pictures and have resisted the temptation to add a leather sweat, ribbon/pug or steam to fold down the front brim because I wasn't sure if I'd keep it for life or not.... so I've decided to sell this...
