I have the auction catalog. It may be the page wasn't flat when I took the photo, making it look distorted.

Turn of the century Westerns I like a lot. Pics taken from an auction catalog, so not the best quality.

Coincidentally one in my size just popped up on the 'Bay...
Seriously though -- great historical hat and boot posts of late Jack!

Here is a passel of western fun! Note how Wards could not offer saddles in 1945, and the referance to OPA pricing.

I was gifted a nice little Western from a fellow Lounger. This is a Kevin McAndrew, probably earlier 1960s vintage (?) I have no plans to convert this one. I liked it's casual working man's Western styling of that era that I left it mostly as is.The only changes I made to this was to curl the brim to my liking and I also took out the mule kicks that were in front and back of the crown. I saw styles like this in movies and TV shows from the '50s and '60s and I always liked the look. I'll have more pics later. Still doing some minor adjustments on it.
Some slightly different angles of the hat.

That looks really good! Is there any resemblance to a Resistol? I have been told that Resistol owned Kevin McAndrew at one point.I was gifted a nice little Western from a fellow Lounger.

I hadn’t heard that. Maybe @T Jones can show us the liner and if there’s any reference to Byer-Rolnick or any other Resistol clues.

@ DH and @Desert dog, it does indeed have a resemblance to a Byer-Rolnick made hat. When I first saw the liner in the Kevin McAndrew I thought it looked very similar to the liner in a Bradford Ltd that I have. Bradford was also a Byer-Rolnick hat, as was Resistol. The liner is drying at the moment from where I was cleaning it up some but when it dries I'll get pictures of both the Bradford liner and this McAndrew liner.

Yup. That's the logo in mine.
