Sorry Fruno. More pics. There is a water stain or something I will have to deal with. The Bundschu store operated from 1879 to 1959. Pretty sure this hat is late 1950s.
One day, the Strat gods will smile down upon me from above...
Just won this gorgeous Resistol from Miamibruno on the 'bay.
Great find Bob even though it ends up being worn by your wife.Sorry Fruno. More pics. There is a water stain or something I will have to deal with. The Bundschu store operated from 1879 to 1959. Pretty sure this hat is late 1950s.

In a small way, this neophyte collector has arrived. My first custom from Mike at NW Hats in Eugene. This is the 1942 Rose Bowl fedora! I had Mike copy a hat from the 1942 OSU Beaver yearbook. I will be wearing this for the festivities of the 75th Anniversary of the '42 Rose Bowl during OSU Homecoming in October. Full beaver felt for an OSU Beaver!

Just won this gorgeous Resistol from Miamibruno on the 'bay. 2 3/8 brim, 5 1/2 crown, kitten finish. Cost $11.95 in the '50s. Love it.
That's super, Bob! Looks to be in great condition!

Pecan - kind of a chameleon light brown. I think it will be really wearable in most situations. My leather A-2 jacket is waiting for it when the weather breaks.Wow, love it Redfokker! Mike did a great job, as usual. You wear it well! What color is the felt?
Bob, I didn't realize till now that you got the hat that belonged to RC Bundschu, brother to AJ! What a story that hat could tell probably!Thanks Harv! I also got a "senior" discount on it (and it was the day after "senior" discount day -- I didn't even ask). Maybe it was the beard thing that Hurricane Jack referred to in another thread. This is the fifth hat my wife has ended up with.
For sure!two superb hats
congrats to you both
