    The Other Open Roads.....

    I definitely prefer the OR crease for this type of hat, as opposed to the Stratoliner clone (if I want a Strat, I'll get a Strat). There's something classy and appealing about the OR of it's own accord.

    The Other Open Roads.....

    I ended up going with a 4 3/4 crown, 3-1/2 inch brim. It comes with a modified Cattleman crown, which I think I can push out as necessary. I will have it early next week. I realize I prefer a slightly larger brim that the Open Roads offer, as I like the extra sun protection.

    Western, anyone?

    Straw vs. Palm What's better for warmer weather- straw vs. palm leaf? I prefer ventilation or eyelets, so what's my best alternative in a cowboy hat- straw or palm leaf? Lots of options I realize... What's most versatile?

    My guess is the 10th was a beaver in rabbit clothing.

    What the heck happened to the 10th beaver?

    I like the Golden Gus but I'm not going specifically for a traditional Gus. I want a brim somewhere between 3-1/2 to 4" but not bigger (I've got other westerns for that). The idea of the Gus was to reshape the Cattleman to something a little lower (and exposes my lack of experience in shaping...

    Posted this over in the Other Open Roads but I'm not sure if this qualifies for that thread. I'm looking at possibly adding an Atwood Austin in palm leaf. The Austin is Atwood's nod to the straw Open Road. I've got an Atwood Hereford in palm and like it, but might want a more moderate brim for...

    I'm looking at possibly adding an Atwood Austin in palm leaf. The Austin is Atwood's nod to the straw Open Road. I've got a Hereford in palm and like it, but might want a more moderate brim for casual warmer weather wear. The crown of the Austin is 5". I'm thinking of flattening the brim more...

    Western, anyone?

    Thank you. Not sure I fully understand- "Some claim that the perforations in the sweat help..." Which perforations- the microfiber? Either way, I'm not sure it's worth me having messed with it. For now, I can easily reverse by taking out the velco and taped strips, without messing with the...

    Western, anyone?

    I've got two Stetson Skyline fur felt hats that fit well, but I find I sweat quite a bit with the inside leather bands. My local (3 hours from me) hat shop sent me a couple of those microfiber (Dry-lex I think) inserts that attach with velcro strips to the front of the inside of the hat sweat...

    Goodness. Now I'm confused. I might have to order one of each from David Morgan to see which size I need.

    Is that standard across the board? I'm a 59- should I go 60?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Just because it feels good... I know this probably doesn't fit in with "afficianados," but I want to share a feel good hat story. I've had an Orvis "Ecuadorian handwoven straw" hat for years. It had a southwestern theme band that I never cared for, so I took it off and reshaped the hat with...

    I tried a search here but came up non-specific. I'm looking at the Akubra Cattleman (color undecided, but wavering between BGG, Sandtone Fawn and who knows... Does it even come in BGG?). I like the Coober Pedy but want an unlined felt hat that I can wear in cooler and warmer weather. For those...

    Any guesses as to the hat worn here?

    That BGG looks really nice. I'm looking at a Cattleman and debating the colors. The more traditional vs. the beautiful BGG. Thoughts?
