Vintage Resistol "Westerner" Open Road style - 7-1/2 LO

[TPD166]

Vintage Resistol “Westerner” Open Road style hat – 2X silverbelly (slight tan tone), size 7-1/2 Long Oval. It has a 2-5/8” ribbon bound brim and approximate 5-1/2” cattleman crown. Very good condition and cleaned and blocked by Paris Hatters last month. The only flaws are a moth nip at the top of crown on the right side and faint brownish spot toward the center of the crown – very hard to see and capture in a photo (but tried too – see close-up below). There is some fading to the logo of the liner. It is a beautiful vintage Resistol and would keep it, but the long oval makes it a little too big for me (I can usually wear a 7.5, but just don’t want to try and pad this one - too nice). Asking $90 shipped in the U.S., or may be interested in a trade for another vintage Resistol Open Road style (San Antonio, Dalworth, etc.) in 7-3/8. Please PM or email me with questions (tpd_166@yahoo.com). After a few days, it will head for ebay.

Forgot to mention that this comes with the Resistol box I received it in.
