That Resistol Breezeweight is one cool Panama hat! Never heard of it either and I’ve done a little resistol digging too.Another one of those auction wins where I might regret the shipping charges. I don't recall seeing this Resistol Breezeweight model (or line) and my Googling is not finding any ads or anything. I might have to lean on @DaveProc 's searching skills once again.

Is it going on eBay or is it your size?
Exciting! Congratulations Steve
My fingers are crossed for 7 1/4 LO; 7 3/8Greg -- the size is a mystery. Hopefully mine ... or yours.

Yeah, man! What a great old hats, Bob.
Apparently the early silkscreening was around for a long time.Pin Up?
A Dobbs Cross Country that seems to date from 1922 to 1927. Had to take out a bank loan for this one, $39.99. Was listed in with women's hats because she thought it had belonged to her grandmother or possibly grandfather.
Thanks, Bob. Can't wait to get it and take a good look at it and post some decent photos for you all to see.Great get!
I love everything about this hat!Montgomery Ward "Roundup"

Bummer the fancy band didn’t make it. They must have had a cubic foot restriction even back then as shipping was 12 cents extra.Montgomery Ward "Roundup"
