The Resistol Roundup
Here is a cheap buy of a Resistol 4X Beaver made during the early 80's (I think) when crap was coming out swift and plentiful for the "Urban Cowboys". Color and proportions are great, felt is well......made from rabbit and shaved rats (perhaps even a chipmunk ?). Lets just say it is rather... -

HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.
Earlier in this thread I posted a new (old) eagle hat pin (wondering what hat to put it on). Later I posted a picture of my 1889/99 Campaign hat in response to a question about campaign bows. (Which got me to get the hat out and freshen it up). Then Yesterday I find the two of them... -
Vintage Photos of Kids in Hats
Close examination and one can see the Photo Shop/AI. It really disturbs me what AI can do to history. There have been many scandals created lately with fake photos, recordings and soon video.....all seen quite real but AI was used. Problem is people believe this crap........they don't seem to... -

How do folks react to your hat wearing?
People are used to me here in my town and circles, I DO often get POSITIVE comments from others, especially women (of all ages, which is something for a fat old guy). Often "dapper" or just "well dressed" is used. Sometimes people will ask if I am coming from or going to: church, court, or a... -

All this talk of Campaign Bows made me get out my 1889/99 (edit) 5X Beaver Campaign Hat.....It had been away for a while. I Brushed up, re-freshened the flange and re-creased it in a nice deep double gutter. I am glad this subject came up as it will now be back in rotation to WEAR! ;) -

Mike, that is not a ribbon. It is a sweat guard. Ribbon goes over it. I have a few boaters with one behind the ribbon. This is found on the nicer ones......;) -

The Resistol Roundup
Yes, I have two of these. Nice hats..... I even have a German made Dobbs! I always suspected the appearance of these US brand, license made hats were made for the "Oversees American" market. There were a LOT of US service and government personnel oversees and it makes sense to offer brands... -
