I'm not ushering this hat out of this world - I'm bringing it back from the next.
A very fine point - and so well formulated :eusa_clap

eh maybe. Back then things needed to be adapted because they weren't suited to "that" usage.Before cowboys got their "uniformed" hat, they converted a giant number of dress hats for the hard life on the plains. It'll take many many years for John and TJ to reach that number of conversions. Wipe your eyes and get back on the horse, Sir. You and your wrangler colleagues are still far ahead on points
Even so... maybe I'll have one someday.Joao,
Please read my note above.
You are correct that there is one less Resistol 100. That _is_ sad, but there would have been one less Resistol 100 in any event. This hat was more garbage than anything else when I bought it and put a little bit of my soul in it.
I'm more Hercules than Charon in this story, my friend ;-).

Nowadays things are not the same.

I sometimes think we would all be well advised to do as you have just done, and wear the hats we have to the beach while we still have enough vigor to turn the head of a pretty Sun Flower.
I don't know if there are much more hats I can covet. My choices are getting narrower, mostly "iconic" vintage qualities.I believe someday you will, my friend. But I also think there is not world enough and time for you or me to have all of the hats we covet.

Maybe because your range is bigger than mine. I'm only for westerns not fedoras so my choices are narrower.There may be hope for you then Joao, but I'm a lost cause ...
Probably.Then again, you may just be in denial...
I would change the brim crease. Don't like the look of it.
Joao has spoken...
Maybe. Looks it's been folded in half. Prefer a more classic crease like the ones used on OR/whippets/stratoliners/...What! You don't like my brim crease!? I think it looks real snazzy! Classy, man! Classy!

Yes, I am. I don't like the "taco" brim. I have 1 (one) hat with it and I don't like it, but it's 1 in the middle of 50 (sort of). It's like feathers on hats.Man Oh Man! You're hard to please! I did a Taco fold on that brim only because I thought you'd like it. I was going call it, "The Joao Stingy"! A stingy brim Cowboy hat!

A stingy for me is a 3" brim hat Anything below that is a fez
