The Hat is on the move! I am so very sorry for the delay! I was hospitalized 4 days after recieving the hat. I had asked for it to be mailed on, but saw it was still here when I came home Tuesday. My wife mailed it yesterday. Again, I am very sorry for the delay.

Just wondering, where is the hat? [huh] [huh] [huh]

Thank you. That was my first Open Road.

Looks Good! Very nice. What peg spacing did you use? What did you use for the balls? It looks very sturdy. All-in-all, a big thumbs up!:eusa_clap

My choice has been ... The Tilley LTM3 AIRFLO has served me well for over 2 years now. I have worn it for everything from mowing fields on a tractor to swiming with the grandkids. It cleans up nicely by hand washing. It has lived up to all of Tilley's advertising. I hope to never have to use...

:( Thanks for the information. Wish I had gotten it the other week.

I went to buy a TH3 today and was told they had been discontinued. (I had seen one there 3 weeks ago.) Also, they are not on the Tilley website. Was there a problem with this model or were the just not popular enough?:( I seem to remember a thread a long time ago talking about Tilley sizes...

Gotta love a Tilley! I have a Tilley LTM3 AirFlo. I use this hat a lot. I have about 20 hats to choose from, but I find the Tilley on my head more often than not. I know nothing about the other brand you mentioned. I'm sure you won't be disappionted with a Tilley. They are well worth the money!

What ever is comfortable. In the Florida panhandle, it was around 90 degrees today. Wore a Stetson Downs in dark brown with no problem. Tomorrow I my be in a panama or a Tilley. I say if your comfortable in it and want to wear it, wear it. :cheers1: :cheers1: The fashion police have never...

OR with brim snap Only have 2 Open Roads. The tan one in the avitar is always worn with the front brim turned down. Soon it will be sporting a 1 1/2 inch ribbon and bow. I havn't decided how I want to shape the silver belly.

Has the Idea man struck gold again? Shamus, This sounds like a great idea to me. It almost seems to me that someone was already putting together a history of hat companys. Is that still in the works?

Moving right along ... I would be glad to help move it through the panhandle. Actual location is about 25 miles east of Tallahassee, Florida. :cheers1:

Event Forum? Why not start a thread/sign-up list in the Events forum? There might possably be some folks that don't view (or view with regularity) the hats forum that would be interested in helping bridge some of the gaps around the country/ world.:cheers1:

Google scala-nuova hat. Then click on third result. On the left side of the page select Trachtenhute. Seventh one on the page is Zimmermannshut. I tried several times, but for some reason I can't get the page to translate. mabey you'll have better luck.

Stetson - Open Road. Unsure of age.
