I didn't think that the seller would accept the Best Offer. Question: Does this hat qualify as an Open Road?

Oh, and hi! Nice to meet you all!

Not bad from what I see. The price was right. I think that qualifies as an Open Road. If it isn't then I want to know what it is.
The best offer worked. My father always used to say that it never hurt to ask.

Regards,

Jack Ruby?...

But, Jack Ruby wore a stingy brim fedora! It was the Dallas detectives that wore the Western style Stetsons!

Take a look at the famous picture of Ruby shooting Oswald - that's detective James Leavelle's hat! Nice find!..Good look!

It qualifies as a helluva deal, anyhow! I love my Open Roads, I think you'll love yours whether it says "Open Road" on it or not.

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Thanks...

folks. New to the board, not to hats. Been wearin' em since I was knee high to a Panama. Glad to have found this place.

Oh, Tony - Either you're up very early -- or very late...

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

Late. I work nights and really should be hitting the sack.

LBJ's style of hat for sure!

 

[Mr. Lucky]

LBJ's style of hat for sure!

I'm actually thinking of taking it, molding it into a C-crown and then adding a pencil roll. The side dents just don't do it for me. The main reason I bought it is because it might fit my fat head!!!

Hey! I resemble that remark.
The hat should be easily rebashed into whatever block you like. Side dents don't do it for me either. [huh]

Regards,

MY Friend...

Welcome to the Lounge and the OPEN ROAD GUILD !

 

[Pilgrim]

Sure looks like an Open Road, possibly one that falls on the narrower-brim side of the variation. I'm guessing the brim is about 2 3/8" to 2.5".

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Welcome to the Lounge and the OPEN ROAD GUILD !

Hey! Thank you on both counts.

 

[ledsled]

No wonder you call yourself Mr. Lucky!

 

[Hemingway Jones]

A great find and a great hat for sure. I'd like to see it on when you get it. Congratulations!:eusa_clap

 

[GentlemanFarmer]

Sure looks like an OR. You'll be able to check the sweatband when it arrives. Welcome to the Lounge and OR Guild.

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Thanks...

everybody! Now, what would you think of a pencil roll and a (I think it's called) Cairo bash? I wonder if the crown is high enough...
