Is that a six ply ribbon? I am tearing down a 1940's Stetson with a 6 ply but it turns out to be two - 3 ply ribbons stacked.

Yep, 6 cords, all one piece and no stacking.

Double X Quality Resistol Cochise. 3 1/2” wide brim and 5 1/2” tall open crown.

The seller’s photos are horrible. He insists the model is “Galgary.” Yes, with a “G.” Has anyone heard of this model before?

This 4X Beaver Cattleman isn’t anything special, but I can’t pass them up when I find them in my size at a great price. Granite gray is a fantastic color too.

Resistol Fifteen Gay Prince style. 5 1/2” open crown and 2 1/2” brim. The felt is a wonderful suede finish cedar brown. The seller didn’t know the size, but it’s a 7 3/8 and not the 7 5/8 I was hoping for. The hat is very lightweight and easily dry creased.

This is the first Resistol I’ve seen in the Gay Prince style. Has anyone else see on of these? It’s off to eBay, so feel free to send me a PM if you’re interested.

Tell us more about the lines ran there. And any speciality lines of hats that aren't run every day.
