The Resistol Roundup

[Canadian Cowboy]

Here is the only Resistol hat I've got.

It's a gray, "kitten finish" fedora. 2-1/2 inch brim. size 7, extra long oval.

I would guess 1950s, I suppose. But I am not sure.

Nice Kitty Mobile! it looks like it has never been worn.

Great smile in the face of adversity... great hat for the occasion too. Groundhog day next week... relief soon, perhaps.

Are there any ORIGINAL LBJ style owners out there. I'm talking about the Resistol San Antonio model which was the hat he wore. Can we see any pics you might have?

I picked this one up a few months ago:

Picked up another Resistol from eBay.

Unknown western style, maybe a San Antonio? No tags on the sweat or anything, no mention of beaver. The sweatband does say "melorol" though. The crest on the liner does say Byer-Rolnick, so it predates Hatco.

Any ideas as to what this one is? Brim is 2.5", the center dent comes to about 4.5" and looks to be just about 5" open crown height.

I'm not sure if it's a real San Antonio or not. The brim is 2.5 and the crown height looks like it would be about 5.25-5.5 open crown, which I think is shorter than the San Antonio?

Whatever it is, it's a great hat and quickly became one of my favorites. I reworked it to have a Hollywood brim and diamond crease:

Great look for you and for sure love the Hollywood brim in that bottom photo.

I had to have the sweatband replaced. It is in the shop for that right now. I did change the crease as I only wear cattleman creases for my wider brimmed westerns.

I bought this one from a fellow FL member a couple of years ago. It is very much like the San Antonio, but is actually a Resistol Waco...or so says the tag.

Thanks! I am quite fond of this hat. It had some moth damage, but it was still a bargain.

A larger version of the Resistol Bogart ad.

I can't quite make out what style of hat they say this is in the advertisement.
Is it a Lameer, Lemeer? It's just a touch too small to make out in that handwriting font. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

I thought it said "Lancer." Could be wrong though.

Looks like "Lancer" to me...
