This is one of two hats that belonged to a prominent New York City politician who received it as a gift for a speaking engagement and never wore it... 5X Beaver Resistol, size 7 1/4. I'm unsure of the vintage, but those of you more versed in Resistol marks can probably help. His Stetson Open Road was a late 1950s hat... this one perhaps a little more recent. The felt is very much like the 1950s Stetson, lightweight and moldable. Though it has been resting in a cattleman crease for decades, it took a fedora modification happily. Original Resistol box included.
I would like to trade for a similar condition/value 7 1/8 hat. For a sale price, I would like $225.00 (shipping included.)
