Resistol Beaver Forty. No tags under the sweat. Was this forty dollars, or does Beaver Forty mean that it has 40 percent beaver?
And what year is it from, about? If it says "A Byer-Rolnick product", does it mean it's before a certain year?
The felt is thick, obedient, and nice, but the hand isn't as smooth as my Knox and Dobbs Forties.

Great hat, Max. I really like Resistol’s fedoras. I find lots of stingy brims, but it’s hard to find the wider brimmed hats. I’m not sure what the Forty represents since it’s used in conjunction with “beaver” in this case.

My understanding is that hats marked Byer-Rolnick came from 1967-1968 and earlier.
