One more question I just googled the name of the store that is imprinted on the sweatband of my OR (Olds & King) and found that it was a department store in Portland Oregon that opened in the 1800s and was renamed Rhodes Department Store in the EARLY 50s. My hat has a price tag that says $12.95...

Good to know Cool. Thanks guys. I will have some good stuff to look for next time around.

First let me tell you how this came to me. I called a business associate whose wife organizes occasional estate sales and asked him to keep his eye open for Open Road or something like it for me. He called me the next day and said he had something in his closet that he thought I should see. It...

Can I join in? Yesterday I bought my first Open Road. I have been looking for a while now to find one that was really great. I think I found it. It is a Royal De Luxe that is in pristine shape. It appears to me that it was lightly, if ever, worn. I am not sure that the hat box that came with it...

I'm new too I am really pleased to be getting so much information so quickly. I have a bunch of cowboy hats and am just now getting into the vintage fedoras. Welcome.

Good for you. Great to see young guys wearing hats.
