I wish I could get one of my Campdrafts to do that. Nice work!
Try spraying a mist on your hat and then steam....that may make your Campdraft "obey" you more.

Gray Stetson Nutria Quality. Looks to have been a trooper hat of some sort. I love the wider ribbon and bow, and have been after a cool gray western for some time. Can't wait to get it home and clean it up.
It came with an old worn out chinstrap that I immediately removed as you can tell from the bent sweatband.

Sorry. It's a 7 3/8 but fits like a 7 1/4. Fits me great.
Thanks for the compliment!

A mist? That's for wimps. I spray mine until the felt is almost saturated.
Steam, on the other hand...I don't have a way to focus the steam onto the felt--no tea kettles or anything of the sort. I'm sure I could convince at least one of my hats into a Diamond crease if I really wanted to, but so far they have all wanted either a Teardrop or a C-Crown and I'm okay with that. Thank you for the suggestion!

Check it out on the Mallory Mile. This is a special hat!
This was a confusing hat when I first bought it. The pics were vague and it looked like a Butch Dorer hat that someone had dropped an Orvis liner in. Turns out that at one time Orvis had licensed Dorer hats and sold them. This hat is the Dorer bar 50 which is what they market as their working cowboy hat, a 50/50 blend of beaver/hare. It has a felted band with sterling buckle and tip. Cowboy stiff with a 3 1/2" brim and about 5 1/2" open crown. the last photo shows the box it was shipped in, hence the ironed out shape it is in now. Gotta figure out what shape to put in it.
Levine Hat Co. St. Louis, MO. Not much info to be found on this though they still have a store and a website. They apparently built customs at one time. Nothing inside the hat to indicate otherwise. A very nicely sewn in liner and unique (to me) sweat. I have an OR or clone weakness and I like this color.

Mallorys are special hats, and this one knocks it out of the park!
Love it Greg! I think I recall reading on the forum that Levine hats were produced by one of the larger hat makers and sold as a store brand by Levine. I just don't recall the details. Congrats on a great catch!
Awesome hat! Very cool hat, great color, and unique maker. I think I recall reading on this forum that Levine hats were made by one of the larger hat makers of that era, but I just don't recall the details. Regardless, that is a stunner, Greg!

Hückel Wien, measures 55cm. Hückel brand name but with Carl Kellner Hamburg sweatband. I have only seen the Hückel Wien designation used with WWI era hats. It has characteristics of an older hat but I think it's post WWII. The felt is really fantastic and it appears to have a silk liner which is also like no other Hückel I have encountered (pre WWII JHS, Hückel Tonak, Hückel Weilheim). This is hat is a total mystery.
Update: I am thinking Weilheim probably early 1950s with special components for Carl Kellner Hamburg.
