The Resistol Roundup
My new to me Resistol 5X, refurbed by Scott (new sweat). He did a GREAT job on the crease...I feel NO need to re-crease it!;) Felt is soft and simply awesome.....is one of those changing color felts that had different flecks of fur throughout......almost heathered. In some lights, light grey... -

Movie hats
I find it interesting in a good many Film Noirs (and just 1930's detective movies like "Boston Blackie" it seems the police detectives tend to wear a lot of thin ribbon fedoras.... While not a police detective here is a good TRF. -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Crossing out the labels in second hand stores is not about the buyer knowing.....it is about the implications to the brand and liabilities of a shop having license to sell some high market goods. It is also about the customer potentially defrauding another shop with "seconds" or even trying to... -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
I cannot see anyone putting X's in their hats for personal identification....especially with gold leaf paint. I would venture another (unpopular here on the lounge where everyone thinks their hat came direct from the factory, but logical) opinion....these hats were sold second hand by an... -

Shudde Bros. Hatters in Houston
Yes, in fact it was introduced around 1955. There has been some ads around hear somewhere and I have something in the vault too. I do have another Twenty Five with this logo along with a fractional only keyhole tag. I believe it was one of their (Stetson's) longest running logo for the Twenty... -
Shudde Bros. Hatters in Houston
Here is my latest (I should probably post some of my others) Shudde Brothers hat. It is an interesting Stetson Twenty-five. This has the appointments like a OR but is one of Stetsons many "other" like hats and in NOT marked as a OR. This is a LATE 1950's early 60's and while thin, the felt is... -
The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
I FINALLY got one (that fits, I have had a few....that did not...I have a silver belly mid 50's right now in 7 1/4). Late 40's very early 50's. Red/white blocking tag, orange re-order tag. Lovely dark steel grey with blue tones.....the ribbon was matching at one time....I LOVE what the years... -
“WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

Boater faction!
I think with the Scala it is a matter of sizing....they don't use much. I always wondered about removing the ribbon (and perhaps the sweat also) and starching the crap into it! I see no reason this would not work (would just be a lot of work) as it is indeed real wheat straw like so many of...
