Maybe it is so very rare...you know like when they make a coin a "double strike"...? Nice hat no matter what that is for sure!That's what it looks like to me too. I have never seen this done before.
Nice Hat Rick, The oil cloth liner is from the late forties to early fifties there was a posing from Dinnerman but i cant find it right now. the kitten finish is really nice to the touch. i have a 3 string with the same liner also, shown on this thread a while back. I'm waiting for a mid ribbon to come in the mail i will have to post some pictures when it comes in.
Amazing hat, Rick. I keep an eye out for OR-style Resistols, I think they're underrated.
Another hat I bought last year is this 3X Western Resistol - any guess on the age?

That's the kitten finish advantage. I've got two similar era Resistol Kitten Finish fedoras, and the felt is awesome. I'm impressed every time I take one down to wear. Great score. I've had a San Antonio, but it wasn't a Kitten. Killer hat, one I'd be really happy to own. Not likely in a 7 7/8 though. FrankI agree. I've always preferred Stetsons but the quality of the felt and sweatband on these older Resistols are clearly superior to any Stetson I've handled, save for my western Stetson 7x Clear Beaver.
