Cool Picture argyle. Now you can make a cap.

Excellent pic. I would think you might want more brim for that down-under sun.

We had to take new pictures at work and of course the official picture is hatless, but the photographer was willing to take another for me and I just happened to be wearing a Resistol Beaver 100 that day, so this is the pic. I sized it down small to be an avatar for lync internal messaging but otherwise this pic serves no purpose. If I had prepared better I would have preferred to do this shot with a brim more like 2 5/8 in a western or do it with one of my full-weight fedoras with 2 1/2 in brim; this particular hat has a little more brim than I prefer at 3 1/2 in. I forgot to mention that I am an auditor, working for a utility.

Since that pic the western thin-ribbons are all back in their boxes and the fedoras (my cavs) are all in use now.

Not my favorite hat by any stretch of the imagination, but I AM at work.

They've not been slouching either. Should be a good one.

John,

That is a beautiful Resistol 100. The brim looks wafer thin in the photo!

I beveled the edge as Buckaroo Mike taught me. However, this and several resistols from a particular period seem to be wide-brim fedora-weight rather than full- weight westerns.

 

[Landman]

Looks great. The beveling really adds to it.

A wider brim would certainly be better for sun protection 'hatophile. Unfortunately they get in the way too much. I've pretty well given away the wider brim use, even in every day/night hats, and always cut the brim down to 55mm and 45mm now.

Haha...

Actually I wish I had learnt to spin/weave.

I beveled the edge ...

When you say "beveled," is it just pounced to a knife edge around the brim? I assume that would make a thick brimed hat seem thinner?

Your Resistol looks sharp (pun intended).
