Churchill made an OR style. These are the ebay pics of mine:
Bailey continues to make fine western hats. To assume that all current/modern Bailey hats are cheap based on a few wool fedoras is to be seriously uninformed about the brand.tinmanzzz said:I recently picked this up on ebay.
It is currently out for cleaning so I can only show you the stock picture.
However, I was impressed :eusa_clap
This is not your current cheap Bailey.

The San Antonio that I have is only denoted by a paper sticker on the back of the sweatband with San Ant as model. The sweatband just has Resistol 20.Bob Smalser said:Unmarked modern Resistol 3X Beaver, originally with a Cattleman crease:

I am a true 7 5/8 so let me know if you need to move it!Atticus Finch said:Yes, the description was sparce to say the least. The problem was, I didn't see the listing until it was too late to ask questions of the seller. I'm a bit concerned that it may be too small as I normally like size 7 3/4 in vintage hats. But, then again, I have a steam pot and a whole collection of hat stretchers.
The last "OR" I bought on e-bay--my mystery Stetson---has turned out to be one of my favorite hats. I'm hoping that lightening will strike twice with the purchase of this old Resistol.

Sorry but Akubra already nailed it with the Campdraft although the Bushman is a nice looking thin ribbon.JohnnyB53 said:Also, would the Akubra Bushman count?
