What can brown do for you?

I'm kinda with Bob, I seem to have amassed a few extra brown lids. What I'd like to find is some of those vintage hats with interesting colors, like creams and different shades of blue. I know there are more than brown and gray. Need more greens and maybe something like a brick or wine.

Thereyago. A brick Open Road in Royal Deluxe quality with an open crown.
That would be nice!

I've often though about acquiring an "LBJ" hat so earlier this morning I pulled the trigger on the Delmonico site for an Open Road in silver belly made from "Royal Quality" fur felt. I gave some consideration to the caribou color but decided that I've got too many brown hats, besides which silver belly is more versatile; it's been a while since I've seen a photo of President Johnson but I seem to recall that he famously wore silver bellies, so what the heck.

The Royal OR version is said to have a nice soft body & comes with an interesting pin in the hat band.

As a Delmonico email subscriber, I was able to take advantage of their current 15% coupon code savings. That sure helped defray the postage to Canada.

Once I've taken delivery I'll post my comments.

Would love to see dove grey and cadet blue colors come back to Stetson offerings. Just don't need another brown Open Road. An black is not a color I will ever wear in a hat tried it still don't wear the hat.
