8 1/2 Mallory...all fixed up

[big kahuna]

Remember the before...a vintage Mallory homburg masquerading as a fedora..

I just got it back from the hat Guys in Oakland...he brushed it up, resewed in the original sweatband, reblocked into a homburg...FOR AN EXTREMELY REASONABLE FEE!!

Heres a few views:

It really has a vintage look..It has a tall crown...about 6 inches...and I am 6'5". It is a way big hat....and it fits!

...but dang...it does look good, if I might say so my self. I never thought I'd like a small brim or any homburg, as most look like party favors on me.

Thanks again, Dinerman, for offering this gem.

You just got a promotion to Ali'i...

The profile shot seems to indicate that all kapu has now been driven from that old Mallory! Looks like they did a super job.

Great job. It looks really nice, and I'm glad you're happy with it. Would you mind posting a picture of the insides? I want to see how they put the sweat back in.

That's just about the best-looking homburg I've ever seen -- in any size.

Congrats! :eusa_clap

A very sharp looking hat, it suits you well.

I still can't believe there's such a thing as an 8 1/2 Mallory. That's great.

Also, I love homburgs. I've never worn one, I just think they look awesome. Hold on to that hat to the grave.
