Ask a question, get an answer

Seeing this made me wonder: What's my moth-eaten, tropical-worsted, WWII crusher cap with a neck strap worth? Size 7 1/4, IIRC.

This one didn't make it very far, but perhaps you can breathe some new life into it:

That "hat trick" is true wizardry. Don't tell me how it's done, Rusty; that would spoil the effect.

Yes, I think the spelling error might have precluded a successful search.

A "Real" Open Road?

I am looking at a Stetson Open Road. The label on the box says Open Road silver belly but there is no marking on the sweatband that says Open Road. Is the hat a "real" Open Road?

 

[jlee562]

The ask a question, get an answer thread, or the OR thread itself would probably be a better place for this rather than starting a new thread.

That having been said, impossible to say without pictures. But not all Open Roads had "Open Road" on the sweat, AFAIK.

When was it made? Modern ORs never were labeled on the sweatband, just the printed tag that may still be behind it.

 

[Dobb]

The hat is on ebay under the OR category. The seller says the hat is no older than ten years. It is very nice and 7 3/8 so I made an offer.

Yeah, that's an Open Road. What makes you think that it is not?

Nice OR. Good luck!

You can still see the remnants of the cattleman crease in the photos...

I agree on the age. I just found a new one for only 140.00 at a western site on the net.

Stetson 10x made to look like an open road OR a Stetson 6x Open Road?

That is the one. I bought it for 150.00 and it will be on it's way tomorrow. I didn't see the Open Road printed on the sweatband so I wasn't sure if it was in fact an Open Road or late model Stetson in the Open Road style. I still have a way to go before I graduate from the Stetson university. But I am learning fast here on the forum.
