Ebay catch;Rand's that the seller listed as 7 7/8,but Rand's notes inside the sweat show a 24"sweat,perfect 7 5/8.

Very nice hat Dave! Glad you found this one. Can't help on Robert Reed.

I think counts as an “other”.

The felt is a pale gray... probably dove I guess. It super thin and light. I have honestly never experienced a felt like this. I’m not even sure how to go about creasing it, it’s puts up zero fight.

I can tell from the pics that thing is soft. Very nice! Looks old.

Certainly qualifies for this thread. Looks very nice. Are there any interior tags- a reorder tag behind the sweat, possibly? Perhaps we can figure out the manufacturer.

Here’re some more.

That tag looks familiar, but I can't quite place it. Might be a Resistol.

We should start a brand reorder tag thread to help us identify who made some of these jobbers and house brands.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Super hat Tele.
That’s what i call fingerdent felt.
Because when you touch it, it leaves fingerdents in it. Which is a very good thing. Imho
I agree with Fruno, looks like a Resistol tag, which is a very good thing too.

Thanks man. I especially like that the tag doesn’t appear to have ever had a number.... now I’ll never be able to order another.

Took a chance on this 5X Beaver Westchester Imperial for $25, a little creased and dented but in overall good shape.

Oh no. What's wrong with red liners?

Ed has a thing for red liners. His red liner Resistol collection is something to see.

Not a thing! He's just drawn to them for some reason.
