Bold. Sophisticated. Unmistakably luxurious. Introducing The Emily in Black, a striking collaboration between Resistol and RW Fine Jewelry. Designed by Emily Huskinson of RW Fine, this exceptional fur felt hat captures the undeniable allure of black, bringing a bold sense of elegance to the Western silhouette. Rich, luxurious black felt creates a dramatic statement, complemented by a matching self-felt hatband and polished three-piece silver buckle set. The result is a hat that exudes confidence, sophistication, and timeless style.

Beneath its striking exterior, The Emily reveals the finer details of exceptional craftsmanship. A genuine roan fine leather sweatband provides a luxurious finishing touch, while a soft baby blue liner featuring Resistol's iconic bronco illustration offers an unexpected contrast. Every element has been carefully considered to create a piece that celebrates the finest traditions of Western hatmaking with a distinctly modern perspective.

Black is the ultimate backdrop for brilliance. Pair The Emily with RW Fine Jewelry's exquisite diamond hat pin collection and watch as each diamond comes to life against the deep, luxurious black felt. The dramatic contrast of shimmering diamonds and rich black fur felt creates a look that is both captivating and unmistakably refined. Designed to be the crown of your outfit, The Emily in Black isn't simply worn. It's remembered.

200 steps

There are over 200 steps that go into making every fur-felt Resistol hat. We start with rabbit, beaver, and wild hare's fur sourced from all over the world. Raw fur is cleaned and mixed to our our exacting standards.

MAKING THE FELT

After being cleaned and mixed, our fur blends are blown into the forming chamber where the thin fur fibers felt together. A thin burlap cloth is placed around the felt where it will go through additional steps to continue the felting process.

FINISHING THE FELT

Through the felting process, the hat bodies shrink to 1/3 their size. Each Resistol fur-felt hat gets dyed, sanded, stretched, and blocked before being sent to our finishing plant in Garland Texas.

STARTING THE HAT

Hat bodies don't sit around for very long once they get to Garland. Their first stop is at steam block where they get a specific size from 6 3/4 - 7 3/4. After steam block we apply shellac to the hats which stiffens them.

THE HEAT IS ON

By applying heat and steady pressure, Resistol prepares the hats for one of the most important steps in their journey to becoming a Resistol.

POUNCING & SANDING

Hats go through multiple rounds of sanding and pouncing to give Resistol its smooth velvety finish.. Many of the machines in the Resistol factory are original. The same machines that built your grandfather's Resistol, also made yours!

TAKING SHAPE

After the felt has been sanded to a smooth finish it goes to get pressed into its final shape. Resistol offers a number of different shapes. From pre-creased cattleman crowns to every working cowboy's favorite shape; the open crown.

A CLOSER LOOK

Hats are inspected every station they leave, but special care is taken to go over each hat once it arrives at Middle Inspect. Sized, sanded, & shaped, the Resistol hat is ready to be finished with trim, but not before it goes through a rigorous review process to make sure it can live up to the brand known as the best-all around.

The Brand every Hat wants to be

Resistol hats aren't only known for their top-quality fur, but also their patented self-conforming sweatband, as well as signature buckle sets, and supple leather sweatbands. Each of them carefully sewn in or attached to the hat.

THE FINAL TEST

The journey from raw fur to a finished Resistol hat is almost complete. Each hat is fully inspected one last time before it is allowed to bear the brand name synonymous with quality in the western world. Resistol - The Best All-Around.

FROM GARLAND TO YOU

Once they pass final inspection, Resistol fur felt hats go to packaging where they are carefully placed in a hat box, and are then shipped to retailers throughout the nation.
