Nice Resistol, clean lines.Feelin' 'Western-ly'...Resistol 3X.
Looks like it's been around for decades. Great looking hat.It's a little over a year old, purchased through Ernie Delmonico. A bit of time & steam helped tighten the pinch and make the bash a little softer and more organic. The deep snap 2 1/2" brim makes it a great choice for dealing with the bright sunlight, particularly while driving. The only problem is it's settled in about a size too small, so I'm constantly stretching it!
Beautiful.Today's selection is the Optimo British Tan with the diamond crease. I just had the ribbon replaced by Optimo and a general refreshening of the hat.

The liner and sweat alone are worth the price of admission on this ultimate lid.J. Hückel´s Söhne "Elastic" probably 1930s.
Me too!I'm diggin' that ribbon.
Great color! Very cool hat, FedI've spent most of the day doing dishes, laundry, etc. LOL, somehow I had it in my bean that MrsFed was coming home Saturday. Wrong-o. It's tomorrow. Yikes!
I only went out of the house once today in order to check the mail.
I threw on the Aristocrat for the short walk. This one has cleaned up nicely. I've never seen such an enormous quantity of black dirt come out of a hat during a naptha bath. Now I'm liking this little number.
The sweat crumbled, but the liner is nice and the felt is actually pretty decent. It's a nice brown color and the ribbon/bow is a great reddish brown that lends a nice contrast.
But the surprise for me was the union label under the sweat, next to the size label.
