The Resistol Roundup

[Bamaboots]

Anyone know a good source for the reddish-brown sweats for an older Resistol? I've found some in black, but I'd rather stay with the original color. The original sweat is brittle and flaky, and crumbling apart. I've been watching for a couple years for a hat I could cannibalize in good conscience, but no luck.

Back in '79 or '80, I bought it new off the shelf where it had been sitting since longer than anyone there knew (as I recall, I got a really good deal on it for that reason). Crown is about 4" as creased, with a 3 1/2" brim. It originally had a red liner but I had to replace that long ago.

Thanks,
Jim

Have had this fellow replace sweats and now just buy them. High quality. He's a member. @bond

Greeley Hat Works had a red/brown roan sweat. Their prices are some of the best I've found too.

Try this online store. Maybe the "saddle" color would work for you.

Straw Resistol “Posse” from Missoula MT. I have many Resistol & Stetson vintage felts, but just ebayed this straw. Really nice straw ( not toquilla, prob shantung), but well made hat. Nice 2 cord ribbon. What gets me is it was original price $5. I’m not familiar with vintage straws as I am felts, so wondering what time frame a straw this nice would be 5$. The tip doesn’t say Byer-Rolnick, so I’m assuming after 1968. Cheers.

Um....has this sold yet?
If not...can you please forward me the auction link?
Thanks!

Confession.....
Sometimes i get irked seeing the same hat posted in multiple threads on the same day. I am a curmudgeon so i earned that privilege. Other times i can’t hit that dedicated thread fast enough.
This one has that golden glow that just says “that’s money” to mine eye.
Love it!!

That is such a beauty! Really nice pre "68 Resistol straws are hard to find. I like that style! I wouldn't trade it for ten new Stetsons!

A lot of hat for $13.50 when it sold and it still is a lot of hat. Nice find for a big headed fellow but two at once. Must be living right. I love the profile of the Resistol's from this era and the SB is a different shade than commonly encountered with OR's which I like.

Thanks BB. I have no idea what the T/O stamp means, if anyone else does?

You are all killing me. There should be a law against posting any old dye black cherries and any San Antonio's!!!
