I finished my Resistol Ridgetop. Everything that was original to the hat, except for the sweatband, was reused. I reblocked this from a 7 1/8 LO to a 7 1/4 LO. The original block profile was completely changed on my RA block. The brim on this one was originally 3 1/2 inches but it looks like the previous owner cut it down to 3 1/4 inches. After reblocking the hat the new open crown height was 5 3/4 tall. So to make the brim more proportionate to the crown height I cut the brim down to 3 inches wide. I creased the crown to a Cattleman and gave the brim a moderate "Cowboy" curl.

Fantastic work, as always, Terry. It has nice clean lines and a simple look to it that I really like. Well done!
