How do Resistols tend to size up? Generous or small for tagged size?
Richard,
I'm in between sizes and a long oval. My head measurement that I use for my custom hats is 23 3/8" long oval. I have found that my vintage Resistols run a little smaller in size when compared to my vintage Stetsons.
For example, normally a vintage Stetson 7 3/8 will fit me a tad tight but still wearable. A vintage Resistol 7 3/8 is usually too tight to wear. On the other hand, a vintage Stetson 7 1/2 is usually a tad big but a vintage Resistol 7 1/2 is a great fit.
