I am having a hard time parting with this one – and if I was a 7-1/2 I’d never part with it (I am between a 7-3/8 and a 7-1/2 and have finally given up on most 7-3/8 for a good fit). But I am clearing out the hats I don’t wear or are too small. This Open Road-style hat was made by the now-defunct Bandera Hats in Fort Worth, Texas, and sold in Los Alamos, New Mexico (as noted on the very wide sweatband). I guess-timate it is from the 1950s and comes in the original shipping box. The quality of this hat is on-par with the Stetson’s of that era. It is a 3X, in a beautiful tan with an almost pink or salmon ribbon (not sure if that’s the original color or it comes from age, but I love the contrast). The brim is 2-3/4” and the crown as creased is about 5” tall. Excellent condition. Asking $150.00 OBO shipped in the U.S. As for trades, all I am currently looking for is a straw Open Road in a 7-1/2. If you have questions or are interested in the hat, please contact me via email thru TFL.
