Hard to tell with images and Stetson didn't really name their colors that way outside of silverbelly and black. Different colors and designations in different eras as well. I have a 50's RD OR that's called Sky Gray that's as gray as worn pavement in some light and almost sky blue in others. Educated guessing and a roll of the dice at best when ordering a custom, w/o picking out your own felt of course. You've said it yourself, you, I and others see color differently.

Not sure of the criteria to make the Master list but here is my Shudde Bros. to hold the spot!
Nice representative. Anything in the guts to indicate a model, Randy?

This one is a blank slate, Greg. I'll post pics in a few days. It has the Shudde Bros crest with 3 top hats under the cellophane in the crown, Shudde Bros Houston gold stamp on the brown sweat, and the sweat butts together with a piece of fabric tape on the inside holding it together and a standard white bow on the outside. The only other mark is a "R. C. and Co Leathers with the chamois colored back" stamp on the back of the sweat. That's it unless there is something burried way underneath the liner somewhere.

Resistol. No model name anywhere. It does say Byers Rolnick on liner. Local department store in small town. Anyone recognize era or anything?
It is a rich light to medium gray color.

Do you have a photo of the reorder tag or is there a tag on the underside of the side of the hatband?

Excellent. Also, a second request for behind the sweat tags, if there are any.

No reorder or other tags. It's a little bit stiff but it's pretty easy to change the bash. 2 5/8 " brim.

Beautiful hat and color! I think mid sixties is a safe bet. I have a Dalworth with the same liner, sweat and dimensions.

Westchester Imperial today. Originally it had a cattlemans crease, I re-creased it to a c-crown and wore it that way for a year but I wasn't digging it and the crown seemed a little low. So, this week I re-creased it to a diamond and I think it came out great.

Mallory, OPS era, 2 3/4 brim and and 5 1/2 open crown. In another thread I described the brim as a little stiff. I should say it is firm yet flexible. Easily snaps up or down depending on my mood. Excellent felt, soft crown easily shaped. Love this hat.
