Stetson 50 7X clear beaver, not stamped "Open Road" - I presume it still is considered OR style? Orginally posted in New Hats, but this pic shows its color better.
My Stetson 3X Fifteen Mode Edge arrived today. It's as beautiful as advertised, a tad tight but the softest (and probably oldest) hat I own.

I also won this Dobbs tonight. I made sure it didn't get away, because I grew up in Tyler shopping at Joyner Fry. (check the last pic) I also love the color.

Man, this thread jinxed me. I had no problem wearing a hat in my wife's Honda Odyssey. But I traded it in for a new Odyssey this weekend, and the 2010 models have redesigned headrests that tilt forward and ... hit the back of my hat. :mad:
I didn't know Boston Blackie made the transition from jewel thief in the movies to detective/good guy on tv. In addition to the hats, those cars are pretty sweet, too. That's the first Nash police car I've ever seen.

Thanks! Something's occurred to me, though. If it's clear beaver, I don't guess it can truly be "silverbelly" color? (Having since my purchase read that "clear beaver" means undyed felt.) After a couple days of wear, I've noticed it's really is slightly more brown/grey than silver (though...
Panama Bob sells cardboard hat boxes with the inner ring on ebay. Search "Montecristi Panama Hat box Hatbox storage case handle." I don't have one, but I've thought about buying one from him.
Man, I'm starting to wonder what's wrong with me. I'm 6'-5", and I have absolutely no problems wearing my fedoras in my Honda Accord. I guess I'm probably tall enough that the headrest only comes up to the base of my neck, but even my Stetson Open Road doesn't touch the roof. I just have a...
The brim is stiff, but snaps right good. The crown is pretty soft, I put in a dry teardrop bash very easily. I'll work it with some steam this weekend and get a better bash, but it does nicely dry: cattleman's, center dent, etc. Helluva hat.
Stetson 50 clear beaver 7X Open Road, Silverbelly (sorry, bad color in pics). Cross-posted from Ebay victories/defeats. Purchased from Scott F. Favorite new hat.
I got the Stetson 50 7X Open Road tonight. It's silverbelly, but shows tan in the photos. Incredibly quick shipping, thanks so much, Scott F. Holy crap, I'm in love with this hat.
