The Resistol Roundup

Here’s a late 50’s-early 60’s (correct me if I’m wrong) Pendleton, since the only one I’ve seen on this thread ended up as a conversion. The brim width is 3 1/2” and 3/8” binding. Kind of a cool style, but a little too small for me.

Resistol beaver twenty that I picked up a month or so ago. Two and 5/8” mode edge (or whatever resistol called theirs), no liner in mine, some hinky bumps in the sweat but still incredibly pliable, but it’s an awesome beater that is seeing plenty of head time and has a nice weight for summer.

My guess is early to mid 50’s mostly based on the patent number on the sweat.

Oh and I did notice that the order tag is on the left side of the red bow as you look at it brim up, so did resistol do that to the dress hats as opposed to cowboy hats?

A rare find that I hope ends up with a FL member or two who will appreciate it. Too bad the other one wasn’t.

I am open to trades for the Pendleton, if an established member has a western style bound brim that's a my size that i like.

Kind of glad the kitten finish wasn't too small , it turned out to be closer to a 7 1/8 than the 1/4 that it was labeled, so actually fits perfectly.

That Pendleton is a real beauty, are you only open to trades and not a sale ? I don't have anything that matches your description. If it's a true 7 I'd be very interested.

The 20 is gorgeous, too.

Here is a “Marshall” with a red liner and an original price of $16.95. The moldable felt made it easy to add some mule kicks. I was the only bidder on the hat and I thought it was worthy of rescuing.

Afternoon my fellow hatted brethren.
I have a line on a Resistol that I am trying to find some into on.
Does anyone recognize this liner?

That’s a current model still on the shelf. They call it the Showdown in 7X.

Hi all you Resistol experts!
Could someone shed some light on the model and year of this piece that I recently picked up on the bay?
It has an original price tag of 13.50, a 2 3/4 inch brim, and is marked 5x beaver. Looks like one of the OR style models. Could it be a San Antonio?
It’s going to need some cleaning and shaping up, but is in good condition overall.

Yes it’s a San Antonio. I have a couple in 3X & one in 5X. The 5X also has the $13.50 price tag.

Thanks! I thought so. Am I right in assuming that it’s probably mid to late 60’s with the Bayer Rolnick liner?

Very late 60’s.

Cleanup and new crease for this Adobe colored Resistol. First photo is from the seller‘s listing.

 

[Sean66]

Got that San Antonio re-blocked and cleaned up! Price tag fell off, though.

I have a late 80’s Resistol western 5X. 4” brim. The sweatband is marked ‘thin brim” anyone have any idea what this “thin brim” designates?
It’s been my stand by for ever and never thought about the title before. Tag inside sweat reads style W306 WYOMING ‘ color 028 IVORY, ticket no. G25xxx any idea from the experts including mfg dating?

 

[MikeP]

Still trying to date this Resistol western from PMM western wear in Denver. Also curious what “trim brim” means. Seems like my other cowboy hats are?
