Very nice collection guys! I especially like the work that was done on yours, clintfisher. Here's a Stagecoach that I converted a couple of weeks ago. It was a thrift store find with a damaged brim. I cut the brim down and reblocked the crown. I sewed on a burgundy ribbon with a double bow, the stitching is hidden on the bow work.

An older fella at church, who knows I like hats, gave me 2 hats today. One cheaper straw hat. And one nice Resistol. Black, with a thin ribbon, and 3" brim. It had a rectangular telescope bash, and heavily western-curved brim, so I steamed it up and reshaped it more to my liking, with a diamond bash and snap brim. I don't know much about the hat, though. There is no 'X' designation printed on it. I think it's fairly old, because the gold print on the sweatband leather is all faded. The "Resistol Self Conforming" is still pretty clear, but the "Maverick" has no gold left in it. The stamp for where it was purchased I can't completely make out... "D...... F (or P) Ranch Supply M..... N.C." There's no paper tag inside the sweatband, either. The inside of the sweatband is stamped with ink B88216

Here's some pics. Maybe some of you can tell me exactly what this hat is?

Bump. Any ideas on what this hat is? How old it is? What quality fur it is?

Harv, That Resistol is my kinda hat! Very nice! Reminds me a little of my Turf Club, a brown hat with a green tint to it. It seems like a grey hat with a yellow or green tint to it? Even more cool of it does!
