A Stetson "Open Road" Royal Deluxe soft Fedora style with wind trolly. Has original box. A good friend gave this to me last night. It belonged to his father who passed away last year......he knew I liked hats and he had no use for it....he told me about it but was unsure of size.....I was very doubtful it would fit (I am a 7 1/2 to 7 5/8). Well long story short......IT FITS LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Differant color than it photographs...........a sort of yellow-grey-tan.....Sand Color perhaps? Could not find a blocking tag but could be behind the liner.....I was very cautious about peeking behind the sweat......sweat is a sort of very very deep brown..........not sure of it's age.....
CHEERS,
M

~1960's - early 1970's Stetson 3X Open Road
Yeah it looks like a pressed in creasewhat says recent to me is the gold line bordering the top of the sweat
I'd have to see the size tag and label under the sweat but it looks fairly recent
very nice Jack
excellent condition
that thing is you, man
Good job, HJ! Nice looking OR.
You know I like it, Jack.
Thank you guys. I didn't wear it when I went out last night because it was (& still is) so windy & hot here. I'm anxious to shim it to size a bit & wear it.Nice one Jack! Thanks for listing the details.
great collection, great creases.Been fooling around with my camera this morning and looking for things to take photos of. So I thought I would update my not strictly OR thin ribbon collection.

All would seem to be from sometime in the 1950s.

Thanks Bob, I've still got a long way to go to get to the quality of your collection.+1,envious.
Thanks Bob. These hats are fun to crease. Very amenable to changesNice collection there. Good Diamond creases.
Thanks Jim. I think I'm going to like this old camera. It seems to behave itself much better with sunlight than the one I have been using. Still much to learn about it.Great shots, especially that first one.
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Thanks Michael. Candy is dandy, liquor is quicker, but hats are more addictive than either.Really Nice Collection and Pictures Michael ! Like Candy , sweet , and a good assortment .
