I don’t like to surmise but pretty sure it’s in the vintage range you were looking for.It will be in the Mail by Tuesday, should have it by the end of next week.
How old do you think it is?

A few more western style cloths in some areas of Cali than in others. But then again, anything goes around here these days.
Hey Brent:
If you don’t like how you think you look in a CC why don’t you try snapping the brim down for a head shot? I’ve found some CC hats like that (or flat). They just take some getting used too especially when used to down in front fedoras. Then they grow on you. Just a thought.

Looks good, try the brim down. If you are still interested in a vintage check the classifieds like Bowen said. The 7 1/2 listed is a sweet hat and the seller is a very long time member and bartender.
I think a Sage OR with a brownish ribbon and brim trim would just about bake my cake!! Wish they made vintage ones like that.I’ll have to give that a try. I’m looking at getting a Royal DeLuxe OR in sage that I’ll try brim down with the CC.

Today I snagged this hat at an estate sale for $5. Stetson "Genuine Panama". Size 7 3/8. Originally made for the Karner Phillips Department Store in Mexia, TX. It seems like an Open Road in style, though the name not present. Brim is 2 3/4".
Does anyone out there want to take a shot at model and possible year?
I just posted this over in "What hat are you wearing today", but thought I might share here. Open Road Panama? No such label but looks much like it.

That's a nice Panama. As Michael said, my size as well. We sometimes wrestle over hats. Is the size tag square? If so, maybe a mid 60's-early 70's? Those in nice shape are hard to come by.
Open Road? Some here say if it's not labeled an OR then it is in fact, not an OR. An OR would have a bound brim. What you have is a Panama where someone painstakingly wove the ends back into the brim edge giving it that nice finished look. Wouldn't want to cover that up. Its an OR or cattleman styled Panama with OR dimensions. Ever tire of it you can watch Michael and I fight over it.
Haha! I'm over in another thread arguing with @Wyldkarma over what is and isn't an OR "style." However, doesn't Stetson, at least currently, market panamas with unbound brims as ORs?

I think RJR has a branded OR Panama.Haha! I'm over in another thread arguing with @Wyldkarma over what is and isn't an OR "style." However, doesn't Stetson, at least currently, market panamas with unbound brims as ORs?
