Resistol
twistedude:
When Pete Tannen (PTannen) and Eric (sfercsf) told me they'd be meeting me for the movie in Stetsons, I was a little leary (of course, I wore my with-letters-two-inch-high shirt with "You know, friend, this is a goddamned bitch of a unstisfactory situation" on it, and didn't give it a second thought). But they both looked really NICE--Eric has a real black felt one, with a silver or silver-like band around the bottom of the inner rise and Pete's is summer straw, but they both looked perfect. Guess those aren't Resistol, though, huh--bought in Californa...
It was the first time I had a chance to talk about the movie with people who weren't se sick of hearing about it from me, they practically bash me on the head...so it was one of the larger thrills of my life...
Thanks for the history lesson, Jeff--I love stuff like that. And, by the way, all of you fanfiction writers are being so careful to get all the period and personal details right--it's as real pleasure.. real brimmy, ain't they? CLICK TO ERNLARGE

I love that it says they make em with a 'kitten finish,' seems very Jack to me.
Aloysius J. Gleek:
Gosh, now that you mention it, Jack IS awfully kittenish, isn't he!
Aww! I do love that.
The fog of senility does occasionally clear--I suddenly remember an article about cowboy hats a year back, or so; seems the quality of felt has been falling off sharply for years, not the fault of the primo (custom) hat manufacturers, they'd sell their souls to get the true gelt if they could--when knowlegeable hat people see the real thing, they pounce--fellow mentioned in the article happened upon three hats sitting unsold in a shop and grabbed 'em for an ungodly sum--gave one each to his son and grandson--when a hatter spied the third on his head, he fairly drooled--fascinating when one has a glimpse into the arcana of a different world--who knew that high-end cowboy hats--and felt--had vintages???
Howdy Jeff'n'Courtney--thanks for the kind thoughts--on the mend, I hope! (Ibuprofen beats Old Rose hands down!)
;D
