    Difference between the Stetson Stratoliner and The Open Road

    Jimmy Stewart's hats I remember a documentary on the Western, I think it said that Jimmy S. usually wore the same hat in most of his westerns. Comfort, perhaps superstitions - any number of good reasons. Here is one at the JS Museum, worn in the Anthony Mann westerns...
