Wearing my Resistol thin ribbon conversion again today. I did a reflange on the brim since I last posted this hat. I first flanged it on a custom made #19 flange. I didn't like that flanging on this particular hat. When I first ordered the #19 I was told that it was for a 2 5/8 brim width and that it was the same as a Strat brim flange. The flange was actually for a 2 3/4 and it looked nothing, to me, like a Strat flange. So, I reflanged it on a vintage 2 3/4 #810 flange and it looks closer to what I'm after. The brim width on this hat is 2 5/8 but the deeper flanging of the #810 works better for me.

This is what the hat originally looked like before I converted it:
