I recently tried on one of their jackets, the « convoy » in a shop here in France. Honestly, it fit really well and looked pretty good. No where near the quality of a Lost Worlds, Aero, real Schott, etc, but not all that bad. Overpriced, sure, but not bad. Maybe they’re improving?
Hi all you Resistol experts!
Could someone shed some light on the model and year of this piece that I recently picked up on the bay?
It has an original price tag of 13.50, a 2 3/4 inch brim, and is marked 5x beaver. Looks like one of the OR style models. Could it be a San Antonio?
It’s going...
Thanks, I really like the higher crown and the dress weight felt.
It does seem that mid oval is not that common, and I was curious to how it would fit. I’m a long oval, so it’s a bit snug in the front, but is stretching out with time.
Hi everyone,
This may be a dumb question, but what’s the difference between a mid and long oval in terms of fit?
I have an OR 7 1/4 regular oval that fits a bit snug and was wondering if a mid oval might fit better.
Thanks,
Sean
Yes, it’s a great hat. Nice felt between western and dress weight. I’ve been toying with the idea of reducing the brim width, though, either with a pencil curl or outright trimming.
Hi!
I’m new to the forum and the OR Guild.
I just purchased a vintage 1950’s Stetson Sovereign 20 OR over at EBay. Thought I’d share some before and after re-blocking pics.
