A new addition. Found on Etsy, was cheap enough so I bought it. Turns out from union tag that it isn't quite as vintage as I had hoped, but still nice. More in the Cavanaugh Club.

A new style for me, as it is my first Hommie.

No problem! Let me preface first by stating that quality vintage lids for my larger noggin is as scarce as hen's teeth! Especially Borsas!! So, Hopped in the ride through the Holland, over the Wiiliamsburg and spent around $200.00. No shame here! Worth every lire!! And would do it gain!! If I could try on a lid before purchase, that is a plus. It was worth feeling the felt on this sweetie and trying on several sizes and trying to decide on which to purchase...This time! :cool:

Very nice, Anthony! Its hard to beat a vintage Resistol like that. Please let us know how you like it.

definitely will

can't wait to get it home and steam it up

it's pretty much new old stock... doesn't look to ever have been worn ... very comfortable .. at least for the 30 seconds I had it on my head.

looking forward to wearing this one

Anthony, I only own two vintage Resistols. The SA I'm wearing today and a 50s wide brimmed fedora. They really are very comfortable hats. Not sure if the Melorol or not, but the dress fedora especially feels like it floats and grips my head. Plus, the felt is top quality. I'm interested in hearing a Full Report after you've given it the once over.
