Just out of the box, more posts in the appropriate threads.
Huckel Special from the hat shop of the "Flying Finn", Paavo Nurmi in Helsinki.

Battersby Homburg from England, very soft and supple, probably 1950s

And a sweet stingy from Penn-Craft under English License. Short hair finish, yummy.

Worth the wait- my Royal Deluxe Silver Belly Open Road arrived today!

This is simply a gorgeous hat. As an enthusiast of western (cowboy) hats, I love the blend of elements inherent in the OR: cattleman's crease, 2 3/4 brim, up or down brim options, tons of tradition. It's a fedora feel with western sizzle. I like the slightly wider brim, as compared to my Chatham Royal Deluxe. Plus, if I ever decided to be daring and change the bash, this pliable fur felt will accomodate.

The front brim snapped down fits my tastes right now. I'll have to steam the brim to flatten it out a bit if I want to pull off the brim up all the way around look. But overall, I'm really pleased with this hat.
The hat is fantastic. And you are a natural for the OR style... it just looks great.

Congratulations. There is nothing quite like the arrival of a "just right" hat.

I agree with these gentlemen 100% Doug. That OR looks like it was made specifically for you!
