Is that a six ply ribbon? I am tearing down a 1940's Stetson with a 6 ply but it turns out to be two - 3 ply ribbons stacked.

Yep, 6 cords, all one piece and no stacking.

Double X Quality Resistol Cochise. 3 1/2” wide brim and 5 1/2” tall open crown.

The seller’s photos are horrible. He insists the model is “Galgary.” Yes, with a “G.” Has anyone heard of this model before?

This 4X Beaver Cattleman isn’t anything special, but I can’t pass them up when I find them in my size at a great price. Granite gray is a fantastic color too.

Resistol Fifteen *** Prince style. 5 1/2” open crown and 2 1/2” brim. The felt is a wonderful suede finish cedar brown. The seller didn’t know the size, but it’s a 7 3/8 and not the 7 5/8 I was hoping for. The hat is very lightweight and easily dry creased.

This is the first Resistol I’ve seen in the *** Prince style. Has anyone else see on of these? It’s off to eBay, so feel free to send me a PM if you’re interested.

Tell us more about the lines ran there. And any speciality lines of hats that aren't run every day.
