What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[hatophile]

We've been warned to expect some rain this afternoon, so I grabbed my bad-weather hat, a Resistol OR-clone:

'Twas my first eBay purchase some years ago. I stretched it up a bit from its 6 7/8 size, and wear it in poor weather.

Still looks good Benz.

Can't "resist" that one, Knotten. But you can keep the snow.

Thank you, sir. It is pretty dirty now -- I tend to leave it on the back of an armchair in my living room, and while the cats thankfully have no interest in it, it needs a good brushing. The sweatband has always intrigued me: it's stamped "Harrington's, Tulsa, Okla.", and while there is no model name, under "Resistol" is "5x Beaver." An admixture of beaver in the felt could help to explain its toughness.

The two are one and the same, I think.

Well that explains it! I had to go back and re-read your earlier post.... didn't realize you no longer owned the hat in your posted picture.

Looks like I purchased it in 2012 and sold it in 2013. If I remember correctly, there were no size indicators on the hat and it was a size or so too large for me. An interesting hat with an old replacement sweatband and possibly ribbon. Here is the post I made when I acquired it:

If I remember correctly, the silk liner was beautiful.

Some very fine hats showing up here already this morning. Great Knox Matt and that ribbon and bow on the Tumwater really are killer David. Great Cane #1 RJR.

With that hat, you deserve to laugh it up. Is that a Cavanagh edge?

 

[1mach1]

Wowza!

Thanks love!

Yes. Or, the Dobbs edge in this case

Thanks Michael.
Nice to see another "back bow-er" today. That ribbon has a very cool looking pattern. The rest of your ensemble... great as always. Enjoy.

Just stunning, Hato! Would love to see any other angle or details of this Knox if you get a chance. Love the crease especially

This nice Resistol should protect you well.
