Resistol Kings 50 San Antonio in unworn condition. The felt is as nice as or dare I say slightly better than my Open Road 7X Clear Beaver. It has a velvety finish to it. I steamed it and shaped it up a bit after I took these photos, so will post a couple of updated photos as soon as I can.
Thanks for all of the compliments, guys! It's a little out of my typical thin ribbon wheelhouse, but it is one of the few non-thin ribbon hats that looks ok on me.
Thanks Cindy! I'm a huge fan of the San Antonios myself, but I love a good Stratoliner too! I bet that whiskey SA was awesome. I'm sure Mike is enjoying it!
Hit it big on eBay earlier this week with this one. Resistol Kings 50 San Antonio in unworn condition. The listing said to make a reasonable offer via message and I got a great deal on one of the nicest hats in my collection, albeit one that looks like many others to my wife :) Just need to...
Light grey mid ribbon Borsalino recently acquired from a fellow lounger. The felt on this hat is out of this world and the basting stitches are still intact. The spots on the felt and liner are from some strange liquid substance starting to fall from the sky.
Tommy, the sweatband is unreeded, so I'm guessing it's from the 1940s. Maybe some Stetson expert out there will know. Those Stetson Playboys are great hats, aren't they?
