nice saveNew life for this abused and neglected Mallory Dallas. This hat was in rough shape when I got it. Couldn't make it look brand new but at least it looks better. Whoever put hot glue all over the ribbon needs to go to hat jail! That was a job to take off! Stripped down, reblocked, and reworked! Original material was reused. Now to finally get caught up on some other projects!

That's a really good one, Joe. Solid brim treatment, some light heathering on the felt and a cool two tone ribbon. What's not to like?
Classic look, David. Can't go wrong with that.
Outstanding velour, Steve. Fabulous petting hat!J. Hückel´s Söhne "Jota" "Seal Velour" possibly late 1930s. The Velour color and finish are fantastic. Very high gloss. I found this Velour back in 2021.
J. Hückel ´s Söhne, K.u.K. Hof-Hutfabrikanten, Neutitschen & Wien. Seal Mark pre WWI could be late 19th Century. It was removed from the document but it appears there is a collectors market for just the Seal Marks. I found this back in 2017.
Thanks, Steve. It was surprising to me as well; rarely find high quality hats offered by Spanish sellers. Pretty sure I posted the JHS here, but it was a while ago.
Now that looks like a Failsworth from their heyday, Marcel. They didn't get the Stetson license for nothing.
Dang, thought I was just makin a joke.
O yes! That is a hat with presence, Randall. Gorgeous.
12 days isn't too bad. I like the look with the braided hatband. Nice catch, Rick.
Fantastic, Charlie!

That is a VERY nice smaller-dimensioned western, Rick!! Congrats on the score! (And the spare change!)
Aptly alliterative adulation achieves awesomeness award! That is DEFINITELY a winner, Charlie!
Thank you buddy! I appreciate that. I seem to be healing up pretty good. I'm still limping around a bit and watching my steps. But otherwise doing pretty good.
