I love this hat! I have a Supernatural that looks very similar...but unfortunately it’s too small.

I would have driven a lot further than that. That Milan is special, the ribbon rocks; it’s a fantastic piece!
What blizzard? I went to Jordan’s Furniture Clearance Center this afternoon, then got the grill going to do a couple of turkey drumsticks.

I got it from Michael. His name is at the bottom of my post. He is an incredible collector.

Mike @Redfokker is a great guy, and your Avenue is a great hat! Hope you share any other hats you have with us too.

A Mallory with a Stetson size tag? Things that make you go "hmmmmm..."
Well, it was 15 Fahrenheits here yesterday and I decided to smoke ribs, so, yeah.

Precursor to the "Mallory by Stetson" designation I figured.
Stetson purchased Mallory in 52' yeah?

Thanks on the Stetsonian. That Milan has a great ribbon.
Sorry, my friend. Very good, but all pig, and collards with bacon, plus bacon cheddar pull apart bread to round it off.
'52 0r '53, I forget. But production at the Mallory factory continued apace for many years after that, they were just managed by Stetson. Mixing pieces parts seems pretty unusual.
Mallory by Stetson hats were many years after that - at least 60s. Their best use is to mop the floor.

At 2:43 p.m. There was a light breeze and the smell of honeysuckle in the air.

Heh.
Mallory was a great hat company, and my Mallory hats (most post-Stetson) are all of impressive quality. The Stetson by Mallory hats pale in comparison and don't deserve the name. But then, these are the same yahoos in the 60s who came up with the "Playboy II."

Charlie, you crazy dude
I was trying to keep it a secret, Steve!
BTW... my foul weather fedora is a Stetson “Packard,” circa 2008.

Charlie, I'm crazy with everything about those photos apart from the weather
Thank you kindly.
To use an overused 2020 expression, we’re all in this together, Steve!!
