Shudde Bros. hat, "Open Road" clone, Size 7

Shudde Bros. clone of the Stetson Open Road. Not sure if this is a hat that Shudde produced new or a rebuild of a Stetson (something they were known for), but the felt is similar to Stetson 3X felt of the late 1950s. Light, easily creased and with a nice "hand".

Size not marked, but head opening is 7-1/2" x 6-3/8" or a size 7. It has a 2-3/4" brim width with 5" open crown height. No mothing or ribbon stains. A bit dirty from handling and only one tiny "rust" stain that might come out with a naphtha bath. Liner has foxing that I would be careful in trying to remove in case the printing ink washes out or runs.

A nice little hat that I'm asking $65 for (shipped to the Contental USA with foreign shipping at cost). Hit me up with questions or additional photos.











No labels (size or otherwise) under the sweat / liner.
