Medium Green Resistol Fedora FS

[Pilgrim]

I just received this, and it's not my style. But it IS one beautiful hat. The felt is smooth and has a nice feel, and is easily the quality equal of the Stetson Whippets I have. This is a beautifully made hat and it shows little to no wear. sweatband is marked "990", Resistol Self-Conforming, and "Linxwiler's, Sherman Texas". The gold stamps on the sweatband are fresh and show no wear at all.

Color is a dark green, slightly olive. A very tasteful color and one that will go with khakis, tan, olive, brown, or any earth tones.

The brim is 1 7/8", and has a very nice Cavanagh-style wrapped and stitched edge. The crown is about 4.5-5" tall. Interior is a dark green satin and there isn't a mark or stain on it. Size is clearly marked 7 1/4 "Extra long oval", and it's a very accurate 7 1/4 and a great fit for me. (Unfortunately.)

Just not quite my style. If you like a narrower brim, this might be the hat for you.

I will be glad to take more photos if needed. $30 plus actual shipping and it's yours.

Mine???

I PM'ed Pilgrim a bit before 5AM EDT. I hope none took the offer prior to that time. I hope, I hope, I hope...(Name that Disney cartoon character). Think it was a bear...

 

[Pilgrim]

Thanks, Katt. It has your name on it, and we'll make arrangements so I can get it shipped.

Darn, I wish this hat was a better match for me.

Look at the bright side

Your massive, . $4.51, profit, will partially defray your buyer's shipping cost.

Yes, my massive profit - unfortunately does not quite offset the shipping cost to me. But what the hey.

But it's OK when the hat goes to Katt or another kindred spirit on the list!
