    I just got this early 1960s Byer-Rolnick era “Wide Country” (auction pics only right now) – 4-1/2” crown, 2-1/4” brim, wind-trolley – seems to be un-worn. Quality is not marked, but it is comparable to my other 3X or 4X Resistols from the era. Color is probably silverbelly, but has an olive...

    I got this older (1960s I think) Open Road 3X last week and it came with cattleman crease as shown, but I decided to try a different bash last night. It really needs to be cleaned and re-blocked, but not unhappy with how it turned out.

    Thanks - it came out better than I expected. I knew about the black Stetsons doing that but had not heard about Resistols running when wet - I'll make sure my son keeps it dry!

    My latest project – another double-teardrop western for my son’s 9th birthday. After he saw the Roy Rogers video he wanted one and I made him one from a Stetson silverbelly earlier this year – it came out pretty well. I came across an older black Resistol with a tall crown recently and thought...

    Thread bump and trying to confirm that age of my "new" (to me) Stetson Open Road 3X with "Last Drop" liner - color is light olive green color. When I bid on it, I thought the liner was embroidered, but I don't think it is - however, it does not look like the later printed Last Drop liners. I'm...

    It would be a keeper for me - I never get that lucky with hats in my size.

    Post New Hats Here!

    This one arrived yesterday - Stetson Open Road 3X with "Last Drop" liner - color is light olive green color (similar to a Resistol OR-styled hat I used to have). I thought the liner was embroidered, but I don't think it is - however, it does not look like the later printed Last Drop liners...

    I almost went with this one and also considered the center dent with no pinched front. I also came close to leaving the brim up. But I keep coming back to the cattleman and teardrop for my thin ribbons.

    Have you seen the hats for Bill Monroe's band in the Non-Shorpy All-Stars thread? http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?56296-The-Non-Shorpy-Web-All-Stars/page97

    A somewhat fancy hat stand?

    That is fantastic - nice work!

    Thank you to everyone for the kind words and birthday wishes! I am very happy with this hat, especially the quality. This must be what it was like to buy a great hat back in the 1940s or 50s! Mike, this my 3rd CD and while I think all three are great hats, this is certainly the best of the...

    This in my "new" Stetson 4X Wisp I got on ebay. Nothing too remarkable about the hat in general (3" brim, Silverbelly, printed "Last Drop" liner, etc.), but the felt is very different than others from this era (I suspect 1970s to 80s). The felt is very thin, lightweight, and very soft for a...

    Yes it was. It did take dry dashes well, but I don't remember if it was as easy with my other two CD's (this is my first Heritage - saying that like there will be others).
