Kevin O’Farrell.
It should have a tag like pictured below, which has obviously been removed. The only Resistol OR clone which has been identified & recorded so far with a 2-1/2" BE brim like your's is the Herdsman. The Plains has a 2-1/2" RE brim, therefore is not a clone.I'm not sure about dating or model numbers. This is what's under the sweatband. Maybe you can tell me.

Good morning. A vintage Stetson Vita-Felt Playboy was my hat choice this morning. This un-reeded fedora's felt is very soft and malleable.
The gray felt is everything that vintage felt is desired to be. The ribbon, sweat and liner show patina that comes with wear. This clean, vintage hat is a joy to wear.
Best, Eric -

Ha yea I forgot about the Nasty Boys. You have seen it before haven't you. I don't think Bauer has gotten into a fist fight with his manager yet as Dibs did. LOLBeen there, done that.
They say Pedro Borbon used to throw them over the center field wall from home plate.

I like the style of that Cavanagh Milan. I have a similar looking Dobbs Panama in dark blue.
You can tell that Randoph supplies the USAF just by looking at the model names.
I like the "Yeager" shades best; Chuck Yeager (from the German "Jäger" = hunter) was a bad-ass fighter- and test-pilot.
I heard Mark Gubiza could throw them over the CF wall from home as well. Damn if I just could have had an arm like that.........Been there, done that.

Yeah, and Dibs also lost it one day and heaved one from the mound into the outfield stands and hit some lady. She sued.Ha yea I forgot about the Nasty Boys. You have seen it before haven't you. I don't think Bauer has gotten into a fist fight with his manager yet as Dibs did. LOL
The hot weather changed to more cooler weather today. Hope it changes back before the autumn kicks in.
However, in the meantime, it allowed me to wear this early 1960s Borsalino.
Really like the natural color of that O'Farrell, Bob.Kevin O’Farrell.
Wonderful hat! And until you mentioned Benny, I had never noticed the resemblance. Something about your smiles...
