Byer Rolnick Resistol Twenty soft bowler; mid to late 60's I'm thinking. And it is soft! I could easily dry crease this one into a Homburg with little effort. With a brim of 1 3/4, this one is about 1/4 inch smaller than my other stiff bowlers and it carries a slightly shorter crown as well but it looks well proportioned. I am pleased to finally add a mid-brown to my derby collection.

Very nice, Randy. The collection of bowlers is growing!

I stand corrected, maybe I'll just set in the corner and not say anything.

You should go into politics, Jim

I dipped my toes in that when I was in my 20s. I think it was good I didn't go further. I'm disillusioned enough as it is.

Nice little Dobbs Game Bird I picked up for my grandson so he can be “like ‘anddad,” as he says.

A secondhand custom from Kirkpatrick. The felt is nice and dense and feels substantially better than the Rand’s western hat I recently received; although, the Rand’s showed a much higher build quality. This Kirkpatrick is a nice unpretentious hat that I’ll probably reshape and add to the rotation.

I don’t know specifically what but there’s something that’s making me really like this one Brent. I really like it.

Thanks, Alan. The fit is what really won me over. Having a very long oval head it’s rare to get a hat that fits this well right off.

I know it man, my head is only a little less large and likely no less oval.

Thanks Bill. I remember you have had a couple SOBS hats. Could you post the complete email in the thread I started for documentation purposes (unless it contains personal info, of course)?

The email is from October 16, 2017.

“I had forgot about this liner this was but in hats i believe in the late 70s
The brim looks a little bigger than a shady oaks this very possibly could be what was called a shady pine pretty much same just about a 1/4 bigger brim.
I see the Brim was probably done "the texas Touch" by the looks of it. Tom would steam that hat and have the customer do what he called "the texas touch" then he would give them a silver dollar.”

When I took the hat to Peters Brothers, Brad said he was off by a decade. It’s actually from the 60s. I asked why a Shady Pines would have a SOBS sweatband. Brad said that the Shady Oaks Banker Special 100 was the only one that was all beaver. The other models had less beaver content. So a person could order a Banker Special and have it finished out anyway they wanted.

BTW I think all this should be added to the Peters Bros thread.

Wow, now that is a unique 10 gallon variety, Brent.

Doesn't look like you're slowing down much, Brent! I do like the look of that Penman.

These showed up yesterday. 5.5" open crowns on both. 4" brim and a full 5" bound brim. 5" is new, the 4" is a rebuild.

Cool. Hard to tell from the photos. Is that one creased with “the turn” (slightly off axis to the front)

 

[mayserwegener]

Windsor, 58 cm, possibly late 1950s. The black felt has a soft hand and easily dry creases. I am still not sure what hat company made the Windsor mark but my guess is Mayser. This is the 5th hat of my recent 7 hat find.
