Back in the 70s, they were interviewing a real cowboy, he lived on a ranch, wrangled for a living. The interviewer from 20/20 New York, had a fancy new hat on. He asked about how to properly break-in his cowboy hat, to make it look like the weather worn hat he was wearing. The cowboy grabbed the reporters hat dismounted the horse and threw it in a nearby creek. He then stomped it in the dirt and then handed it back and said now you start shaping it. Great visual watching the look of horror on the "dudes" face.
@Jim Sheldon I don’t suppose there’s any footage of that now? It sounds like quite a sight to see
Strictly speaking, a person who wrangles (horses) is a wrangler, not a cowboy. A cow-boy tends cows (cattle), though the definition of cowboy has been broadened over the years to include wranglers.
@@IndianOutlaw1870 On an old-time roundup or cattle drive where each job was defined you would be correct. Just as roofers don't plumb water or sewer lines on a new house and electricians do not pour concrete. However, today's cowboy has a much broader scope because there are no more cattle drives where one could do just a single job day after day. Today's cowboy can also be a horse wrangler as well as a plumber and a backhoe operator or a veterinarian. Today's cowboy most often works alone or with his wife as a partner and eventually their children.
I’d like to see that
Jim, if I’m not mistaken that was a Kenny Rogers special about cowboys and I remember it well. I wish they would show it again but they had one scene where Kenny asked the cowboys what do they do for fun on a Saturday night and the cowboy told him, “we just go into town and beat up Indians”, that probably ended that show🤠
This beer tastes like I ain't going to work tomorrow
Bought an open crown Resistol in 1976 and put on a pencil toll brim and Tom Mix style crown. Wore it almost daily, took care of it until it was stolen 36 years later! Grrrrr!! I'm still in mourning.
sorry to hear that, some people have no shame, honor or integrity.
Get Another Hat! Life is Short.
I know the feeling. I had a Resistol I bought in 1978 that was my daily wear. I later had 2 Stetsons and an American that I shuffled around. Then one day I came home after work and they had been stolen, I cried😢🤠
I have a resistol 20X black gold that I got about 18 years ago and it still looks almost as good as it did then. Awesome quality and craftsmanship.
A 20X Black Gold hat is awarded to each Rodeo of the Year class. Always wear mine with pride. Thank you Resistol for your support.
My first Resistol 3X Self Conforming is coming in the mail in a few days....can't wait!
Just picked up one of your hats to wear at work. Best damn hat for under 200 dollars I've ever owned.
im not a cowboy, heck im not even American , but i really would like one of these Resistol hats
You don’t have to be a cowboy or American brotha, I’m Mexican American in America but not a cowboy at all however I’ve been hanging out with more of my Mexican friends lately and they all dress in cowboy boots and tejanas so I just recently bought one because I started liking them a lot and getting into learning about them.
@@James_Edward59 👌🏻💯
Lil, Charmander the original original cowboys came from the conquistadors in Spain but the modern day western USA white cowboy actually comes from the vaqueros in Northern Mexico. I didn’t even learn that until I got older and I’m from America, I always thought the white American cowboy was an old wild Wild West thing that they created but it was all taken from the Mexican vaqueros, even the felt hats being made with beaver was taken from the native Americans who were here before the white Americans.
Me too! I'm Asian but I love cowboy hats and watching rodeo!
I’m Australian and this video was helpful!
My first hat was a Justin 2x beater. I used it when I rode bulls and bucked mares in Mexican rodeo. I took care of that hat until the end when I fell on it jumping into a car through the window. I just recently bought a Stetson 4x and this one I’m gonna use for dancing and going out and depending on how I care for this one I’m gonna get a resistol in the future!
Don’t waste your $1000 just get another Stetson. You know you won’t complain about it.
That a beauful color and shape. Outstanding
I shaped many resistol felt and straw hats in my time of being a boot salesman and hat guy at Cavenders Western Wear in Denver. Learned some great things from the reps but I'm an American Hat kinda guy. Resistol has always put out great quality hats and stand by their products. I even wore them when working on my family ranch at home. I'd go back to resistol for a 20X Black Gold but my 60X American as done me good the passed 5 years. If resistol can convince me maybe I'll go back but until American Hat Company has me.
From northern Canada. I have a Resistol love it, John Wayne limited edition.
Beautiful hats !
The 1 I'm rockin right now is a 6x chl granite and it's awesome, I really need to step up to a 30 or 40 x next time
How well do they hold their shape after getting wet? Been looking for a good felt hat
Honestly, I love a resistor. I used to wear one and they were tough. They’re good hats
I have a resistol from 1960 it's still looks brand new that's how tough they are
I wear these and Stetson. Kinda a family tradition
very good video, interesting ... I personally work with hats, shapes, cleaning, shape crowns and it would be an honor to work in their factory and contribute to create the best hats in the world..greetings resistol hats.
I have a Resistol 4x Throphy. How much wool vs beaver is in this?
Resistol is more like resist-all it's the best hat made. I've owned and worn the one I have now ( felt hat ) for over 10 years. Still holding it's shape perfectly.
I have been Stetson my whole life. But Resistol is probably just as good!
Mysterious Cowboy they are made by the same company. Basically they are almost the same. But both brands have the best quality hats of all cowboy hats.
I've heard that Stetson has gone down hill. Not that I care. I plan on buying two one of these days
Just had too buy my brother and me some 70x beaver stetsons for christmas of course i originally walked in with my brother too get him a hat but liked it so much i had too get me one too couldn’t resist, i’ve been a resistol fan for many year ever since i first got on. a horse it was resistol made but i’m liking this stetson a awful lot now
Yeah either way, these are the only two cowboy hats brands.
Hell yeah, Stetson for life
Resistol certainly is a quality product. However, I have Dee Pickett Stetson that has held up well in all kinds of weather. It’s not the only Cowboy hat I own, but it’s a good one! The Resistol I own does a good job too!
The Royal Flush with the Diamond Jim hat band and 3 1/2 inch brim ...sold...
I like Stetson, they have been the go-to for quality, and you KNOW you are getting your nickel's worth, and not getting scammed, like a good pair of boots or saddle.
I’ve recently got a Stetson and it was the worst hat I’ve ever gotten
I like how the host is wearing a hat that still has the advertising tags on it.
Stickers they hand out at events like bull riding, rodeos, etc.... not advertising tags.
Made me think of Minnie Pearl
😆
It dont matter hes famous... good business.
@@ltlfamily yes they are tags... look closer.
Brand new shirt too lol
What type of crease did he shaped it ?
Thanks in advance
Yeah thats what I messed up on my hat fell off my head when I got bucked off and it got stepped on I steamed it to try and fix it and its curling in on my 20x how do I fix it
does resistol make any tall open crown hats with a 5 inch brim
Can you please provide brand of steamer and where it can be purchased, it's perfect!!
I got resistol felt hats myself different colors..3. They hold up nice..
What style/shape names for those hats? Bought a Resistol hat but brim is to narrow for me. Can anyone help please!
Tenho um 20X Black Gold, uso no inverno e dias frios pois transpiro bastante qdo são dias quentes, posso dizer q depois deste tempo aguentando td sorte de situações, ainda parece novo. É o Mais top das galáxias!
... cool hats!
@Resistol, which hat and hat color is Anthony Lucia wearing in this video?
I was plumb lucky to find an old 5X Resistol in my size for only $60 at an antique shop. I’m a city slicker who likes to wear his Western hat in the snow and rain. Hee haw!
Same here
I'm the fourth generation Resistol wearer. Loyal to the brand! I just shaped mine at home for the first time. I heated a big pot of water to a boil. Rest the hat a over the rim of the pot and put a towel over. Worked like a charm. Will be nice to be able to do it at home now
Edy the Coyote I want to try myself , you put towel over the boiling pot of water ?
@@020390b I draped the towel over the hat and pot. Big stock pot with a little water. The towel helped keep th steam in. Only took about 30 seconds for the hat brim to "soften up" enough to shape.
Use a whistling tea kettle, works great too
I shaped my old crushed rodeo resistol in the shower, same way Roy Rogers shaped all his hats. There’s a video on UA-cam of Roy demonstrating how he did it.
Hi bro. How much is your hat?l
Looking at a Resistol George Strait 6X Charcoal Silver Ridge Bound Edge Felt Hat. Is a bound edge undesireable?
I'm a cowboy my self to it's the best part of me and I really love wearing good cowboy hats
Can someone tell me what model hat and color name was Anthony Lucia wearing in this video? I want to get one. Thanks in advance!!!
What's the shape of the guys hat who was doing the shaping?
Can you do a video on how to take a hat sticker off of a felt hat please?
Chulada de texanas, saludos desde México
Does anyone know the name of the style he made the hat?
Incredible
Is it alright if your cowboy hat sits right above the ears and sometimes touches the top of your ears?
How tall is the Crown on the 20X Open Crown?
what size is the brim of the hat?
Just take it to the Fincher’s western store here in the stockyards. They are the best.
Such a cool craft!
I love cowboy hat, I have many different types from straw to felt.
Hell yea, my personal favorite is palm straw. rugged hard wearing, and just need water to reshape it.
Do you know of anyone who can change the shape of just the brim of the hat?
Seems everyone has similar crease nowadays. I steam and crease the crease the same way for 30 years.
👍
I have been wearing stetson but the next one I think will be a resistol
After all the cowboy movies I've watched back in the day, they all had a more rounded front brim. It seems like all the guys in this video have a hard shovel front brim. Why? I think cowboy hats look much better with a slightly rounded front brim with no harsh corners.
Because the hard corner is the Rodeo ranch style that is so popular among many modern Cowboys. I like the flatter rounded brim too. Last Best West sells the type of hat ur looking for. Something involving Beaver. An old west hat was 100% beaver. They run round $600 or so. I wear a Gus style wool but have no problem with a bull riding cowboy hat or similar. Stetson wool....Resistol felt and straw...are far more affordable that one made from beaver.
I do like the styling of cowboys hats from the 1960s and before better. I think it is like cars, people today want a more aggressive look. The flat front brim combined with a vertical (rather than curving up) side brim is not subtle. I have a really nice special edition Open Road style Resistol hat from the Nebraska Centennial in 1967.
@@anz2441 I have a wool outback. Popular western hat. Similar to a gambler, but curved brim. I personally prefer the older look as apposed to the new look, however, I try to dress like what I am. I'm no rodeo rider, just a ranchhand. Stetsons are amazing, none the less.
Personal preference.
This is pretty much what I would call a minnick style crease on the brim, this is what many Mexicans wear on their cowboy hats as well.
I wear Larry Mahan but maybe I should give Resistol a try.
I wear Larry mahan's all my life but I try resistol it's way better then larry mahan's
I have a Resistol and need to reshape it. Why would the cameraman focus on the guys face instead of how he’s shaping the hat?
I'm a Asian(Indonesia),but I'd really love American styles.especially Cowboy styles..
What hat shape is that
I have a 4x hat. I also have my dads hat. he passed away so I am thinking about reshaping it and wearing it. I live in Texas so it aint no big deal. I love Resistol hats! I also have a straw hat.
Resistol and Stetson both now made in Texas.
LBJ wore Resistol San Antonio what is today the Stetson Open Road.
If you shape your hat in a certain design, let's say cattleman, and wish to change the style of crease later, can it be changed by re-steaming and shaping again? Thanks for sharing.
Yep sure can
Justin shape my hat in Vegas 2016 th he’s the best I won’t buy a resistor in less he’s the one shaping the hat Hats
THE HATS MORE FAMOUS AND THE BEST
Hi bro how much is the cowboy hat?
What’s the model name for that hat?
I’ve always been a Stetson guy can’t say I’ve ever owned ones of these but I’m very interested now
I think they’re both owned by hat co so they’re practically the same. I own a Stetson but the sweatband is some faux leather stuff so that makes me wonder if resistol uses real Leather instead.
@@804_grandstaff if you ever get one let me know lol
I go with a Resistol straw hat and have a Larry Mayhan,, Stetson, Resistol, and Cody James felt hat.
I wear mainly American hat co hats but a resistol was the 1st hat I wore
I lost a 10x
Me gusta la que tray el de azul🤩
Fact , the top crease is there for a reason, hats are made to fit proper, thus that crease keeps your hat sitting properly on your head, if your hat is sitting low the you increase the depth of the crease Nameen
Back in the old days sometimes you get a hat from paw and it was to big, sat on your ears so they buckled up the top to keep the hat up
مبدع
Not to start the great taste less filling debate, but does anyone have an opinion about The American Hat Co. ?
They’re good hats. Hard to beat actually
I’d like buy one it’s 👍. I like it.
Good hat shaper.
GREETINGS FROM WASHINGTON
Super 👋 Marius Romania 🇹🇩
I love being a cowboy.
my dad gave me one , but its too small can t
Trevor brazile the best
what color Anthony's hat is?
Beige
Looks a lot like pecan. Yeah that is a color
I prefer my Atwood it holds up in all kinds of weather
My aspermount is a champ
J aimerai bien en avoir un mais en France!!!!!Dommage
How about stetson
Stetson for life🇺🇸
Can't beat The Australian "Akubra" !!!
Whats better resistol ? Or stetson ?
mateo rosas I have a Rocky Mountain Hat Company. Custom Fit, hand made. Not taking anything away from Both companies make a nice hat; but certainly not on the same playing field. As Trevor Brazille stated. Buy the best that you can afford; in the long run you won’t have to replace it as often. If I were you I might check out where the open crown felt hats are coming from. I guarantee none are from the United States
Thanks boss
They’re both owned by the same parent company and are made in the same building, both are great quality hats. Get one that’s felt, no wool. Wool doesn’t hold up as well and can’t be reshaped as well as a felt hat.
Neither. Amish ($135) or theres a lot of good custom makers that build hats 10 times the quality of any box company and usually start in the $400 range. Amish are great to beat the tar out of without giving out of shape of size inn the rain snow wind and sun in all temps.
Same for customs but more so. Ive got a resistol ill picked up this march and its been treated like a town hat and I started wearing it out more in June and its horrible at holding shape and has a super weak edge that folds droops and overall just poor. It suck water in and shrinks in the sun. Not ideal. You'll notice these guys are arena guys (nothing wrong with that) but if you want a good hat that last years and years in the elements every day dont fall for the marketing. Spend the extra money or shop around you'll be very glad you did.
Is tha besting all times for. cowboy so good people
I'm not into that big square shovel frunt end I like a more rounded front end more nerrow and frount and back pulled down
Anyone who can send me these hats in Kenya?
I had to settle on a Stetson resistol was a touch pricey for a 13 year old
Boy do I wish I could buy one though
Timmy Taxas Stetsons are good
I wear Resistol, but have a few Stetsons, and all my Stetsons cost more then any of my Resistol’s. Note: My Resistol s fit and feel better then any other ( own Resistol, Stetsons, Mayans, Bailey, even Custom ones like Millers & American) 👍🏼🤠
I find that it’s all in a matter of preference. I own quite a few Stetsons, Resistols and American hats. I prefer the Stetson over the rest for fit and shape. My father only wore Stetsons. I do like Resistols but my go to hat is the Stetson.
Huh. Where I got my Resistol 10X straw hat, the Resistol was a touch cheaper than Stetson was. Well, guess it depends on the outfitter
Jual di indonesia dong....
Two things that my freinds know me by are my hats and my boots
The one working on the hat said "kinda" so many times I couldn't keep count
Ugh I was the 999 subscriber which means I cant ne the 100th
1000x
How I can purchase hat
Resistol.com!
Si on trouvait un magasin avec autant de choix de chapeaux de cowboy se serait bien, dans une ville comme Toulouse ou même seulement à Auch, cela apporterais de la clientèle ( danse en ligne, ceux qui travaillent dans un club hippique e t c et à côte en plus des chapeaux des c h a p s et des ceintures avec boucles large choix).
Sacrée technique de fabrication👌🏼
WEST RESISTOL 🇺🇸👍
That's not the only cowboy crease to have, other states wear it differently and different for every individual
What style would you say he shaped the hat Cutter or cattleman?
Looks like a wide cattle man cutter has cutter bumps
I want to talk about this beard line you got going there too high up cowboy
Why and how am I watching this
