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.

I found this Knox stingy brim fedora on DePoP somehow or another, and it was cheap so I snagged it. Came with a Knox box. I pulled this hat out of it and put the Twenty I got from Cadillac Man in it. Not sure if that's allowed, but it makes me happy. :) I think I bought this one first between the two new Knox's.

My first real hat war story, thankfully it isn't that bad, but thankfully it isn't that bad - somebody thought it was a good idea to pin this feather right through the bow keeper. Wasn't too happy to see that, and it left a visible hole in the bow keeper, but a small one. Maybe it will settle out over time.

I'm wearing this one right now, and I think this thing needs a pinch and snap the front down, but this is what I did with it on the day.
