Resistol "Ft Worth"

[KY Gentleman]

I just received a Resistol "Ft Worth" fedora style hat I won on eBay.
It seems like a nice lid, 3X Beaver, unusual lining.
Does anyone know anything about this model fedora?
Approx. years it was produced?

hate to be this guy, but....

Here are pictures of the Ft Worth. Can anybody tell me anything about it?

HatCo maybe able to get something from that ticket number but it looks like somebody converted a western model to a fedora. I'd bet JtL's paycheck a "Ft Worth" model didn't look like that leaving the factory.

Wow. I like it. What are the usual dimensions?

That is a FINE lid! I bet that WAS originally a western-style hat- undoubtedly much better now.

Hiya-

I just sold a Resistol 3x "Fort Worth" on Ebay. I just shipped it a few weeks ago.
What a coincidence!!!!!!!!

I sold the hat for my dad, who bought it on Ebay a few months back. Other than that I have no history on it. It appears to be a recent hat but a VERY nice hat.

ENJOY!!!!!

PistolPete-
I think I bought this hat from you... its a very nice hat. Thanks.
Thanks for everyones compliments and comments.
I think now it may have been a western hat conversion except the crown is awful low for a cowboy hat. Anyway- I like it and it seems to be unique!

Enjoy it...its a GREAT hat!!!!!

Kicking up this old thread with my Resistol Ft. Worth, Byer-Rolnick BR Beaver "30", in Palomino. 3" raw edge brim, 2-cord ribbon, 4" at crease with mule kicks. The color Palomino takes on a sage green-like tone in natural light.

Reminds me so much of this one. though the brim is somewhat dimensional on this one at F 2 7/8 x S 3. Crown height is same and the color looks similar to me.

Ps: that last pic really captures it well.

It does. My Churchill Dalworth "40" has the dimensions of an OR but similar to the Ft. Worth. And it is Palomino also so I would say your's is Palomino also.

Now check out the similarity to this Resistol San Antonio 3X. Tag says Silverbelly but it has the tint of the Palomino color.

And all of this got me to thinking about my old Resistol Beaver 25 in a similar color. The label shows no color but it's bound to be silverbelly. Posted a couple side by sides with the Churchill 50.

The label shows no color but it's bound to be silverbelly.

I thought to check color codes. The SA has a code of 071 as Silverbelly but my Churchill Dalworth & Ft. Worth marked as Palomino have no color code. So that idea was no help.
