What a great find! I am a big fan of Resistol westerns of that vintage. I think your dates are right on. The skinny ribbon looks good!
Excelente, Max!Wearing my favorite hat again today, to show my compadres.

Wow, what a fantastic hat!100% taupe beaver with silk ribbon by Esther Weis

That's the near identical twin to a lot of Bradfords I've seen from that era. The same red liner and the same
Thank you, Steve.
If they have a union label. Look for local 128 or 129. Those were the locals at the Resistol plants
That is a very good looking Borsa...eh, Tanaro, Daniele.For the series of Italian hats that have noble origins, but are "hidden" here is another example
The name is "Tanaro" and was produced in Alessandria the house of Borsalino
The hat has all the characteristics of a Borsalino even the label in paper without the name we all know
Felt is good, not of the highest quality, but very beautiful to the touch as well as the finishes
It was another hat that had to travel to Mexico City and then stayed in Verona to keep me company and I'll tell you that I'm happy
Thanks for the likes on yesterday Borsalino. Have a nice day
I know all of my Resistols were made in Garland. I have been buying them from Hatco (Resistol Hat Outlet) for 40 yrs.
Thanks for the well wishes, Eric, and a happy thanksgiving to all of the American members (even if I am a day late). "Light grey hats matter": truer words may have never been spoken!Good late morning. Besides organizing and preparing for a Thanksgiving meal for 8 other guests I headed out for a dog walk in a Minnesota tuxedo (red/black patterned wool coat) and a vintage Stetson Whippet. This "tuxedo" was my grandfather's jacket. He did not wear it often as it replaced his similar jacket on his 90th birthday. I wear it proudly! Today I take a moment to give thanks for my family.
At times we dismiss Whippets as not being of a quality that equates with the high market price they demand. In this hat's defense the felt is excellent. Workmanship is standard Whippet quality, but the felt is terrific. Light gray hats matter!
I have been cleaning up fallen limbs and blowing the last of the black oak leaves from the fire pit area. I will prepare a log cabin set-up of logs and kindling fire in the fire pit. Sauna, grilled sausages, adult beverages and a fire in the pit is the plan for the evening. I know that many folks will be leaving for some shopping adventures, but they will miss a grand time.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the USA Fedora Lounge family. I give thanks for being fortunate to share your passions on this internet site. Happy Thursday to all our world Fedora Lounge family.
Best wishes, Eric -
Thank you, Richard. It just sort of ended up that way; homburgs make up their own mind too.
Lovley colour and a great brim curve on that hat, Richard.Catalena
Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you
