Wearing my latest rebuild. This is a Resistol Ridgetop in Silver Grey that a fellow Lounger gifted to me. I took this one apart and blocked it up from a 7 1/8 to a 7 1/4 LO. Except for the hat band, I reused everything that was original to the hat. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to fire my photographer. She and the poodle slept in this morning and I had to snap a couple of bathroom mirror selfies.

Reblocked from a 7 1/8 to a 7 1/4 LO on my RA block:

Brim cut to 3 inches with my Rick Walker brim cutter:

I wanted to do something similar to the hat Clint Eastwood wore in the movie, "A Perfect World"

Great job, Terry. I like the straight-sided crown.

That looks great! You’re a shark with that rounding jack. Clean brim lines.
