The Resistol Roundup
I picked up this Panama at a garage sale two blocks from my house. The Mercantile is an old retailer in Missoula and according to my neighbor the hat was purchased there before WWII by a family member who was deployed and didn’t make it back. The hat has been stored in the cork hat box for all... -

The Resistol Roundup
Yes, definitely Old West. I used a classic Tom Mix as inspiration. The tall crown and shape, wide brim with curl, and wide grosgrain ribbon are like a classic Tom Mix. However, I think a true Tom Mix has brim binding so I guess it is a poor man’s version. -
What Hat Are You Working On Today?
Great job Mark! I enjoyed seeing the battle on this one and love the way it turned out especially with the added brim structure. Can I see a side view of your final crease? On pinch front westerns I sometimes struggle on where to best set the rear crown height. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Thanks! Yes, 90s are looming but it typically cools off at night. Many homes don’t have AC but there are a couple of weeks of suffering in August. -

That is a great look Nathan! We are up to 55 today but expect high 80s in a week. Yes, jacket (and fur felt hat) season is very long here but wouldn’t you miss wearing shorts? :) -

The national news is all about a heat wave sweeping the country but here it is 35 F and we have a winter storm advisory. That’s okay, I’ll take a Grizzly to go pick up some charcoal and ribs for today’s Dad’s day bbq. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there! -

RESISTOL HAT ANTIQUE SHOP FIND
You might try a google search on Resistol "quicksilver". I’ve seen a few of these around but mostly in black. I’m not sure of the age but I think it is a fairly modern hat. -
A little help please
The liner and hat pin are missing which could be a significant hit to its value. Also, if I’m not mistaken, the Royal Stetson is the lowest grade fur felt for the Stratoliner. I’ve seen that size tag associated with late 50s or early 60s but I’m no expert on dating. Condition isn’t great but... -

Thanks Bama! If anything I’ll add a center bump to create some head space. -
