I'm sure it's phenomenal in Steel Grey, but I'm really liking the mid-brown color it photographed as (that's how it looks on my monitor). Either way, that's a hat I'd wear the heck out of!

Stetson Twenty Five Open Road. 5 1/2” open crown and 2 3/4” wide brim. I suspect this hat is from the 1960s, but the felt is wonderful and is easily dry creased.

I wonder if the mixed number keyhole tag “rule” applies also on LO tag to put it in very late 50s very early 60s window.

As I recall, I made that assumption some time back and someone I really respect for their Stetson knowledge questioned me on it. I don’t “know” and I’m not sure there is consensus on it. The liner is glued in and the crown is only 5 1/2 inches…not sure why, but I associate that lower crown height with 1960s and later Open Roads.

You know your marriage is in a good place when you get messages like this from your wife:
“Another day, another hat.“
She did say I needed another black hat, and how could I turn down another St. Regis?

One of the most attractive dress hats I’ve seen. It has a formality that works so well with your suit. Congratulations to both you and Mike!

Thanks, gents. As Mike said to me, this is a style not often seen. He said he got a lot of comments on it when it was sitting in his shop. I wanted something a little different but still bowler-ish and the Cambridge seemed like the natural next step. In retrospect, I should have bumped the crown up another 1/2 to 1 inch, but without having one in-hand to compare, I didn't want to stray too far into top hat territory!
