I agree. I had an Adam hat with a similar "checkerboard" size tag. Not sure if I have any pictures of it but I'll look. Nice hat, Rick!

Was looking around on eBay and came across this Pilgrim hat with the same checkerboard size tag as my "Repell-X" hat. I always thought Lee manufactured Pilgrim hats but judging by the size tag, would you guys say Adam manufactured this hat? Very strange.

I don't know if it's technically an "other" Open Road, but I've just bought a Made-for-Sheplers-by-Stetson "Tulsa" in silverbelly off of ebay for my 5-year-old who thinks my new Campdraft should be his. I found an eight-page catalog spread for Sheplers in an old Field & Stream magazine which included the following listing:

SHEPLERS OWN "TULSA"
This hat style is worn by more westerners and non-westerners than any other hat made. You might call it "The Open Road" or "LBJ" but we call it "Tulsa". It's styled with a 2¾" brim with a bound edge. Dress weight felt. Comes in almond or silver belly.

Piggybacking on the OR conversation, does anyone have suggestions for where to order wind trolleys/cords that can be added to the hats listed above? I have a modern Strat I'd like to add one to for that "vintage" vibe.

Thanks,

Shudde Bros Open Road clone





Have one identical from Shudde Bros. purchased off the bay a few years ago. It is labeled 7 1/8 but barely makes 6 7/8. Can't blame the seller but, is useless to me. I don't believe it shrunk, just mislabeled. Beautiful hat, pristine as yours and when I can devote some time to figuring out how to post photos once again I'll do so.
