Man, that is one sweet hat; going through the collection, I found that I favor Resistol over all others; have a couple
of Beaver 25 fedoras that are strong as steel and soft as silk...if this was another color...

Great hat! The color (in my opinion) makes this hat even nicer than the "norm" color of a silverbelly....and just look at the brim....not something you ever see often on a nice thin ribbon.....if only my money tree would just grow even a few dozen 100's....(sigh).....as I am sure this hat right here would "pull" with a hat jack to an easy 7 1/2 size.....and by looking at the pictures, you can tell the felt is amazing!

Thanks for comments folks. Yes these older Resistols are hard to resist indeed. Some of the best felt and finishes. This one has shrunk ever so slightly from not being worn much and sweat is in dry side so I would not recommend stretching for fear of tearing sweat. Here's pic of hat in natural light.

Sweet looking hat Bond, and that picture is definitely worthy of inclusion in the women wearing fedoras thread. Very classy, indeed!
