The Resistol Roundup

Messages

Resistol Ft. Worth, Byer-Rolnick BR Beaver "30" in Palomino. 3" brim with 2-cord ribbon. Under incandescent lighting Palomino has a light Sage green color to it. The felt has a very nice hand, perhaps close to my Churchill Dalworth "40". I really haven't done a thing to it; it's practically as nice as it was new.

I decided to bring down the fenders to a gentle roll. Brim still has some cup in the flange front to back. I've left the crease & mule kicks alone.

Possibly a stupid question but, I just got my first Resistol and it seems seriously smaller than the tagged size. I have a bunch of 7 1/8s and 7 1/4s and they all fit different but well.this thing is tagged as 7 1/8 L but is crazy tight. I’m not giving up on it and have it on the stretcher to gain a little room and shape it better for my head... but is that a thing? I guess this is also my first long oval too... can that make such a difference? It’s definitely tight all over including front to back...
