[ShadowXY]

Another Resistol Shantung coming into the stable. I'm loving the Conley 20X. Replacing the bad Stetson with another Resistol Shantung from the days when they were harder straw. Think it's 80's or early 90's. Don't want to go too old as then have trouble with leather sweat bands but this one looked new & it was a price I couldn't resist. Black studded leather band but no air holes. It's a 5 Star. Just was so primo I had to adopt it. 7 long oval. The 7 regular oval has been fitting ok so hope it's fine. Just a summer work hat but the older straws seem to be made pretty well. This is when they used stars instead of X but I suppose it's like an X. Really want to find a primo is more with a vented woven straw design. This one is not one of those George Strait that Resistol pushes so many of.

I can't remember but the size tag of 7 without the 56/7 is an older tag design. Not sure when they started adding the metric on the tag.
