Here's a 3X Resistol that I restored and restyled some time back. I converted this one to a "Casual Western" with a lower profile. The open crown height is now 5 3/4 inches and is creased to a Cattleman with a raised ridge in the middle to sit more comfortably on the head. The brim is cut to 3 1/4 inches with a wider curl and pull downs in the front and back. I like the lower profile for when I'm driving. I don't have the brim and the crown bumping into everything when I'm driving around in my truck.

Back of the hat

Some Carl Perkins, dubbed the King of Rockabilly

Thank you Mark! Glad you like the music! It's hard to beat Carl Perkins for Rockabilly!

 

[Rmccamey]

Yep. Carl was one of those taken from us way too soon.

Stetson Revenger 3x Beaver picked up in a thrift shop for pocket change and then refurbished. Based on the liner and comparable ones seen elsewhere, I figure between 30-40 years old.

For sure. His music was classic.
