There's been a lot of talk about a Resistol buy-it-now here lately. I jumped on a different Resistol. Looks like it's from sixties or seventies, and doesn't seem to have been worn. I thought the price was fair. I did notice there was an outstanding offer on the hat, which did affect my decision to pay the asking price. Sorry if I jumped in front of someone here. Well... kinda.
Not sure if I'll want to keep this as a Western or convert it. There's plenty of crown and brim to play with. These westerns tend to have thicker felt than I would usually like in a fedora. Also, I usually soak hats in water and then stretch them to make them fit my long oval head. I've had bad luck with getting "leather" sweats of this era wet. They tend to tear easily.
Anyway... we'll see.

It sold for more last time and poped back up. I showed it to Art as it was on the Bay while FedoraFest was on this year. As I felt it was an unusal color for a Strat Had not seen that combo before. I am sure Mike could make one up for you.
