Western, anyone?

[BobHufford]

guessing that Resistol made it, but not sure.

Yup.

Formease was trademarked by Byer-Rolnick in 1942.

I see! Thanks for confirming my hunch about Resistol being the maker of my Pilgrim hat, Bob. This is my first time dealing with Pilgrim, so I was entirely ignorant about their history.

A couple more from my last visit to the Rockin’ R ranch, I unfortunately lost a lot of the sign during its retrieval.

A very impressive and distinctive hat.

Hoss certainly knew how to wear a large Western. Not sure about the bike, though.

Thank you so much, Perry. I bought a batch of 6 while in England, so I'm experimenting with them. I definitely like this one, though.

Thanks for that, Ws. Appreciate it.
