    New tome Open Road

    Just picked up my first 3x Stetson Open Road yesterday. It's actually stamped on the sweatband Eddie Bauer Seattle. I didn't know they carried them. The brim was a bit mis-shaped. How much curl does an Open Road have? Or is it flat. I steamed it uniformed, but it seems like a lot of curl...

    The new Mullett

    I've notice what I would consider the modern mullett. It's where a guy with shorter hair puts lots of gel in it and then pushes it up in the middle of his head like a mohawk. Does anyone know the name for this style?
