What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Resistol Beaver Forty. No tags under the sweat. Was this forty dollars, or does Beaver Forty mean that it has 40 percent beaver?
And what year is it from, about? If it says "A Byer-Rolnick product", does it mean it's before a certain year?
The felt is thick, obedient, and nice, but the hand isn't as smooth as my Knox and Dobbs Forties. View attachment 248389 View attachment 248390 View attachment 248391 View attachment 248392 View attachment 248393 View attachment 248394 View attachment 248395 View attachment 248396

Great hat, Max. I really like Resistol’s fedoras. I find lots of stingy brims, but it’s hard to find the wider brimmed hats. I’m not sure what the Forty represents since it’s used in conjunction with “beaver” in this case.

My understanding is that hats marked Byer-Rolnick came from 1967-1968 and earlier.

I'm pretty sure that liner is post-1960. Can't prove it, though.

I'm trying to catch up, folks. Not easy to do after a month or so away, but from what I've seen, FLers standards haven't slacked. Thank goodness for that

The weather has not been so summer like here in Denmark, so I got to wear my Barbisio Extra Lusso the other day. The felt is super thin, so fine to wear in sub 20°c weather.
Hope all are well, safe, and enjoying one kind of summer or another.
