According to the sales receipt that came with it, this Resistol was first sold Dec. 14, 1959. I think I’ll have some cake today.

Thanks, Red. No, it's the Tawny Fawn. I think the lack of sunlight made it look darker. I'd like to get a Moonstone, myself. Once I'm done buying for others this month, I may do that.
Today I passed a young man on the street who said in a British accent, "That's a lovely fedora, sir." Wearing one of my NW Hats

I had an older gentleman with a thick accent come up to me on the train platform and tell me I looked like I stepped right out of the '50s.
That was perceptive. I'm wearing a '59 Resistol.

I came across this ad in a 1919 (long defunct) newspaper yesterday while doing research on an unrelated matter. I think it's an interesting insight into the flavor of hat wear at that time.
