Re: Some Came Running
This one?
Looks like it could definitely be an Open Road. Pretty cool looking, sort of a pork pie shape with a pinch and a curled-up brim.
Yeah, I could have captured it, but because of the low resolution of the video clip, I thought the hat would be more identifiable in motion rather than as a still. Thanks, Rusty!
I couldn't find any stills on the 'net, but Back to the Future was on TV, and in the part where Marty gets hit by Lorraine's father's car, Lorraine's dad has on a beautiful grayish Stratoliner or Open Road-type creased in a fedora style just the way I like it. Blink and you'll miss it, so I had...

So it's seen some mileage? How long have the Chinese fakes been around? Maybe it's legit, just a mistake in the lettering on the sweatband that got through quality control. The liner looks kind of like the one in my Squatter, now that I think of it, and I'm reasonably certain it's a genuine...
