I've been meaning to put photos of this one up. Resistol San Antonio that I got a few months ago off ebay. I've been wearing this one a lot. It's in great condition. I thought it was going to be a soft open crown, but the felt is pretty stiff, which leads me to believe it's a factory crease. Although I pushed out the creases just to see what it looked like and the crown opened up nice and round, so I think I could put a different crease in it if I wanted to, but I like it the way it is.
Here is a Double X that I cleaned up and I’m impressed with the quality of the felt. It is lighter weight and has a nicer hand than the 3X Beaver Resistol’s that I own (174g vs 220g). Brim is 4” and crown is 5 1/2” open (the 3X’s I have are 6” to 7” crowns). For now it is shaped as a shorty Gus but with a bit of water/steam it is easy to shape into other styles. It also has a reorder tag that I haven’t seen on my other vintage Resistols.
Here are some before and after shots:

The 3X felt is so soft I’m still working to get the dents the way I want them to stay.

Resistol Beaver Fifteen “St. Regis” as arrived.
I wonder if Resistol and Stetson came to blows over that model name.
2-3/8” brim to the curl edge. 5-1/2” crown. 2-3/16” ribbon. I dig the narrow brim binding.
Needs some liner cleaning.
Size 7-1/8
The sweat is a bit stiff so I have yet to dig behind it.

I’ve always thought of this as a Waco because it has the same dimensions as one. It’s also a DoubleX like most Wacos are. But it has a 2-cord ribbon so I’m not totally sure of the model.

And for the guild.......not sure of the date frame other than before the mid-80's as it does not include metric on the tag and has the union stamp on the back. 10X Beaver 6 cord.....More in the Shudde Brothers thread: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/shudde-bros-hatters-in-houston.3928/post-3080057
I love the "roping" around the tip.......
