Stetson 3X Beaver Quality
Approx 4 7/8 crown as shaped
3/8 Tri-Cord Ribbon
3 inch brim with bound edge
Embroidered Last Drop liner with oil skin tip protector

I did not notice in the seller’s photos, but turns out this Stetson 3X Beaver Was creased with its pinch to the rear. Being that the crease was fairly sharp and seemed to be there for some time… I decided to go with it… but add my own front pinch to create my take on a 4 corners pinch…. Maybe a reverse 4 corner. The color I’d say is slightly darker than most of my Silverbelly hats. But it really does shift depending on light. From a tan.. to off white yellowish… to almost bone. I believe early to mid 50s on this one with the embroidered last drop liner oil skin tip and reorder tag.

Thanks go out to @BobHufford for the heads up on this one.

September is bittersweet to me as it points to summer’s end, but then we do get some nice holidays and I can start transitioning from straw to felt hats again. Today isn’t supposed to go higher than the 70’s here so felt it is! This is a Bowler that I picked up in late June and has been too hot to wear until now. I don’t know much about Beaver Brand hats but I liked it as soon as I saw it and it fits perfectly. BTW it didn’t come with that feather - I like them on bowlers so I added it.

Edit: I don't know why it looks so splotchy in front in the above picture. I just now noticed when I checked back in. It really doesn't look like that at all in person.

Yesterday mid-day I came home for some lunch and a cup of cold brew. A Stetson Open Road was my hat for gallivanting about in the yard.

This morning an early breakfast meeting and a trip to the grocery store found me sport'n an unllined Stetson Playboy.

Cheers, Eric -

I think that's a great-looking Open Road. I like what you did with it.

Heading out for a morning dark roast coffee in a Stetson bowler. I bought this one new a couple of years ago right after receiving the gray version of the same hat. I love wearing these, and they’re perfect for driving an open top Jeep. Bowlers do seem to love the wind.

I really think that all Jeep drivers should wear bowlers when they have the roof off.
Even the "Barbies" in their pink Jeeps.
Now that would be cool.
