FS: VTG 1950s/1960s Royal Stetson Open Road style 7 3/8 LO

[Johnny J]

I really hate to part with this one cause its one of my favorites, but I am not a Long Oval, so it never fit me right. I bought it last november and got it without the crown ever been bashed. I say its still in very nice condition. No moth holes or tracks; could use a little cleaning on a small spot at back crease of crown, but definetly no stains at all. Inside lining is very clean but has only one small mark. Leather sweatband is like new. I'm asking $250 + shipping. You can PM me.

Silverbelly
Crown open: 5 1/4 in.
Bashed: Front, 4 1/4 in. Back, 3 3/4 in.
Brim: 2 3/4 in.
Size: 7 3/8 Long Oval (8 1/4 x 6 3/8 in.)

$225.00 + shipping. Anyone?

 

[Johnny J]

LAST CALL: I will do $215.00, shipping included, but no international shipping. USA only. If not I will just keep the hat.

 

[Johnny J]

I put it on ebay.

I still have this hat if anyone is interested. Buyer from ebay had to back out at the end cause' of some emergency.
I will accept offers at this time. You can PM me.

Thanks. It's a pre 1930's hand carved figure from Africa. He now lives in my office. Sorry for the thread hijacking, Johnny

 

[Johnny J]

No problem Mike.

Thanks Mike!

So I got a question: What sets this apart from an OR, aside from it actually saying The Open Road?

 

[Johnny J]

The Open Roads if I am not mistaken are beaver, and this one is not.

 

[Rodkins]

I could be wrong but I thought that the royal and royal deluxe meant that it was rabbit (as opposed to twenty-five for example) and that the "The Open Road" on the sweat was the style of the hat. I have Open Road style hats that do not say "The Open Road". Just like Stetson Whippets - they made the same hat without naming it a whippet.

Thanks for the info. I was curious as to why they wouldn't name this one The Open Road if it looks exactly like it haha. Isn't beaver the more sought-after type of fur for a hat?
