Playing around. I think it looks a little better.
Need a little help
I have two black gold resistol hats... one has the oil well and the other is only stamped black gold
resistol told me before 1982 they did not stamp x’s into the black gold
I found another black gold, however I’m a at a crossroads. Seller says it’s a resistol “black gold” fedora.... I’ve never heard of one of those. It has the wide silk ribbon and bow and a bound edge. The seller says it’s stamped black gold and it’s a 20x however he did said the block tag is fairly illegible when I asked if it was still in the sweatband
mostly my size, it’s definitely a good price but I’m wary. I attached two images

I believe you may be right about the conversion
I have a non x stamped black gold western hat and I asked resistol about the lack of
X’s. They mentioned my hat was pre 82 cause they didn’t x those till after 1981.
they are right, I bought mine in 1980 at Cutter Bills in Houston. My other is the one with x’s and oil well on the liner
so I am thinking it is a modified hat. And I know from experience that to trim, cut brim, add the edge, large ribbon and creased would be about 150.00 at aztex hats here in Scottsdale
mom paying 60.00 for it it may be worth it but we will see
thanks for the feedback

Michael, I have one just like yours. I think it is early fifties. Could be earlier with the unseeded sweat. The felt on mine is exceptional.A few photos of my new San Antonio

Thanks Jim. I looked through some of the thread and saw mention that they used it into the 50s, but nothing sharp for a cutoff. But there is a lot of thread I haven't looked at.You'd have to go back throughthe thread, but there is a date associated with when that stylized "O" was discontinued.
Thank you, sir.Great hat!
Thanks for the info, DD. I opened out the sweat and all I found was these markingsMichael, I have one just like yours. I think it is early fifties. Could be earlier with the unseeded sweat. The felt on mine is exceptional.

I’m picking it up tomorrow for 50.00It's a nice looking hat, though.
A little more than I’m used to paying for a hat (50.00) but it is a custom and a 20x but no block tag unfortunately, but it does have stamped “especially made for...”
so it is a custom fedora with the resistol Bronc rider on the liner ... this will be my third black gold
Thanks... I’m a 7 1/2 this is only 7 3/8 but it’s a long oval.... so it fitsI think you did good! I really like that one.
View attachment 202407 View attachment 202408 Not sure if the fedora look is for me or the OR look. These are both resistols but ones been trimmed and edged by aztex hats and the other image is the one I just picked up... I have a fat head so I’m not sure if it suits me?I have no clue why my images are posting wonky to my posts? And to my profile image?
