Up for sale is a beautiful piece of mid-century Western Americana: a vintage "Mallory by Stetson" brown felt cowboy hat in a desirable size 7 1/4.

This hat represents a brief, highly collectible era of American headwear history. Following Stetson's acquisition of the historic Mallory Hat Company in 1952, co-branded "Mallory by Stetson" lines were produced until the Mallory back-shop closed permanently in 1965. This places the production of this premium piece firmly between 1952 and 1965.

Adding incredible historic character, the inner genuine leather sweatband features a crisp, legible retail gold stamp from the legendary "Frontier Boot Corral, Phoenix, Arizona." This confirms exactly where this hat was originally sold to its first owner in the mid-century Southwest.

Key Features:Size: True 7 1/4 (Measures approximately 22 3/4" inside circumference).

Material: Rich, thick brown felt with a soft texture.

Hatband: Eye-catching, integrated natural multi-colored feather band featuring genuine ringneck pheasant and speckled guinea fowl plumage.

Interior: Features original silk/satin lining with the dual Mallory/Stetson crest logo.

Condition is good. There are several areas that have what is described as “moth bites”. They range in size from approximately that of a pencil tip to just slightly bigger.

Will be carefully packaged for shipping.
