I just can't help myself when it comes to late fifties, early sixties, Resistol westerns.

You are so welcome. Thanks for sharing your new hat. Where did you find it? Looks almost new.

Bought it off goodwill, it didn't list the size but had a rough measurement. Since it was sold in the same town where my wife was born, and about the same vintage, I bid. No other bids so I got it for 14.99, and it is my size. It needs some clean up but it's not bad.

Raiders hat by John Penman, a 25 year process...

from a leather “Australian style” hat I had as a kid pretending to be Indiana Jones (I didn’t know better, I was 10)... to a generic crushable felt fedora (I was on the right track, but still young, naive, and uninformed)... to an officially licensed fur indy hat (my first exposure to fur felt hats, but later came to learn how the shape was all wrong)... to an Akubra Federation IV (about as close as you can get with production hat, but around this time had become spoiled by vintage felt, and realized that it could be better...)

...and finally this one (I think my search for the perfect Indy hat is over :)
