Resistol Wide Country

[Joel Tunnah]

This came in today. I don't think it's that old - anyone know when these went for $35? It says "A Byer-Rolnick Product".
It's a smooth felt, and was really easy to rebash without any steam. In general, it's a little stiff though.
Maybe it should be called the "not-so-wide country" since the brim is only 2 1/4"...

and "The Douglas":

Very nice hat. Are you okay with the brim up all the way around?

[Joel Tunnah]

Yeah, I like it that way Dean. No good?

Joel, that is a good looking hat.:eusa_clap I really like the Resistols that I have, I have 2 with brown sweats and 1 with a black sweat. The felt on the ones with the brown sweats is softer than the felt with the black sweat.

A fine looking lid. :eusa_clap

Nice, nice hat. Very nice. I have been on the verge of getting my first Resistol fedora for years. Just have not found one in my size that I could live with. Looks like a nice view out those windows behind you also.

Not at all! In fact, I think it's a very common "vintage" manner of wearing a hat, and it's nice option to all those swooping brims that dominate. Great look, in MHO.:eusa_clap

Interesting hat, sort of a cross between an OR and a Playboy.

Did I forget about that one, HJ or have you not posted it. Either way, I don't remember it. Great hat.

Great hat.

It's not my size so I can't wear it.

The San Antonio 3X is out for delivery today.

Great hat!

One owner & a very nice hat, I had to save it when I found it a couple yrs ago. Original box has something like $1.05 meter postage dated 1968 (from memory).
