Stetson has only done regular ovals for years now but Resistol still does Long Ovals as well as Regular. Both done in same factory... Haven't seen XLO from Resistol in years.
Yup. That's my complaint. Stetson catered to the different size options at one time, but now what they produce are the same old cookie cutter full sizes. You would think that if Resistol is still making Long Ovals it wouldn't be much trouble for Stetson to make long oval sizes too, since both are done in the same factory.
I want a hat to where I don't have to jimmy around with stuffing strips behind the sweat band to try and make it fit. If I was going to fork out a hefty price for a hat I at least want it to fit me properly. I think for us LOs who want a proper fitting hat are either going to have to buy a vintage in that size or have our hats custom made.
