Very nice. I’ve yet to find a vintage Mayser in my size, but it’s on my list.

Very nice. That should clean up nicely, which is half the fun.A nice little [late?] 50s Mayser should be arriving from Germany in about a week and a half (will need a good clean though mind you!)
I am looking forward to this.Not my size, but I know someone who might be able to wear it.

I believe Equadorian was one of the Byer Rolnick brands. The size tag does look like a late sixties or early seventies Resistol tag.On its way. Equadorian Supernatural with interesting hatband. No idea how to date this hat, seller says vintage, but knows nothing else.

Checked some other of my Resistols, looks like that tag was used into the eighties also.I believe Equadorian was one of the Byer Rolnick brands. The size tag does look like a late sixties or early seventies Resistol tag.

Thanks DD, had no idea. Never heard of "Soft Touch" either. Looks like a fun kinda hat and I may get more wear out of it on those 100+ days with that softer sweatband.I believe Equadorian was one of the Byer Rolnick brands. The size tag does look like a late sixties or early seventies Resistol tag.

Mystery solved. There happened to be another logo in the hat band. It came from " The Men's Shop" of the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio. They opened in 1909 and closed in the mid 60's. I now have an idea of the age of this hat. The Gunter Hotel was remodeled and changed names a couple times since. Now the Sheraton Gunter Hotel. I like it even more now that I know it's a "Texas Supernatural".... like they say, it may not have been born in Texas, but got here as quick as it could.Checked some other of my Resistols, looks like that tag was used into the eighties also.

View attachment 178985 Greetings All:
Well....i been waiting for my granddaughter Willow’s head to get big enough for a real PopPop hat. Not some kid thing but a real hat you all would approve of. She finally hit 21” so a 63/4 outta do.
So...coming soon, only the best for my little Willow!
Be well. Bowen
Ps: now if her feet would only grow into those Bond Ostrich custom boots...right Uncle Bob?
I knew the Gunter Hotel rang a bell. This photo I posted in SUTH was taken at the Gunter in 1925.
