Steven told me he likes textured felts. Now I see what he meant. The contrast between light and dark hairs is rivetting. Outstanding hat.Steve, thanks for the additional information.
Oldie top hat feels like wool. Looks like Grover Cleveland and..?
Cool hat!
Allen Thurman (Senator from Ohio) was his running mate in 1892.

They appear from time to time.Love the furry ones. Shame that long hairs are so rare.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. Great! Thank you! Wonder who made the hat. The sweatband is torn and tattered unfortunately. The leather box it came with might have more details. I'll look it over again. I believe the lock had a year from around 1892 stamped onto it.
Churchill Dalworth "40" OR just arrived. Has that sponge-like hand to it something like my Twenty-Five OR does. The color Palomino has a Sage green undertone. Better pics to come when I have time to tweak the hat.

Just shipped it off to VS for cleaning, reblocking, new ribbon and new sweatband....told him to give it the Nucky Thompson treatment. Hope to post more pics when it gets returned.This was a shot in the dark and dont have a clue what I got, but it fits me perect. From an estate sale where they said everything was from the 20's or 30's. No tags, no sweat band, only a ****py ribbon. No way to verify anything. Has a nice patina and feels like fine linen. Was it worth $60? Will sent it off to Art to see if he can put in a new sweat and hat band.

Jack, looks like a different block number than my Resistol Dalworth. I have noticed the Sage green undertone on mine also, especially next to other silverbellys.

Is the W40 and W25, not the block?I don't see a block number?

Thank you, my mistake. I am going to search through my Resistols now!I don't think so. I think it's part of the model code. Block numbers are usually two or three digit numbers. Such as 52, or 484 (I think that's the San Antonio block).

Agreed. Churchill used a black liner. I didn't spend much time looking under the edges earlier. I can't imagine the reorder tag is under there but I'll look harder when I take better pics.Block numbers are usually two or three digit numbers.

It's so hot here it's hard to wear felt & I won't be making steam & putting more humidity in the house anytime soon. So I may leave the hat as is for a few days but take better pics tomorrow.I am going to search through my Resistols now!

The brim has more flange cup on the sides than I like on an OR Cattleman & the front has a swoop. Due to the heat I'll leave it for now.
