Finally found a vintage 50s Open Road, the felt is in great condition but some moron has crudely cut out the dealership logo and some other marking on the sweatband, no clue why someone would do that!

I've seen thrift stores do that very thing, cut out and remove identifying labels from clothing. What a shame. Nice hat though.

Rick,

That's a great Sovereign OR. Here's one I've posted in other threads as a Stetson 25 without noting the OR designation. True grey, it came open crowned in the original box.

On several occasions I have visited this thread and admired the vtg. Stetson OR's posted. Accept my belated thanks and congrats to the posters/wearers of the fine felted fedoras.

I have been prepping some hats this afternoon for upcoming cooler weather. I started getting vtg.Stetson OR's ready to be worn. I snapped a pic of the hats. In the pic are (r to l) Stetson OR 20 (silverbelly), Stetson OR 25 (silverbelly late 50's), Stetson OR 25 (tan 50's) , Stetson OR 3X (silverbelly 50's) and a Stetson 25 in gray felt (early model with oilskin tip).

Hats brushed, steamed and shaped ready for wearing. Bring on the cool weather!
