    The Open Road Guild

    In what way? I’ve seen your other posts as well. You know that it’s not an OR and neither was Oppenheimer’s hat but that’s beside the point. Your hat is a decent looking 3X Beaver but it leans more to the modern side of Stetson production, not a particularly popular era around here, at least in...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Golfer Chi Chi Rodriquez has passed at age 88. Probably made more famous by Les Nessman than brandishing his putter like a sword.

    Vintage? Reebok High Top

    Great to see these still being made. Wore out several pair. Used to be a constant in another life when a go bag was a constant. Edit: could have done w/o the flashback.

    Stetson hat

    Probably late 70's into the 80's. Made before they switched to a dual metric/US sizing. Also, it's stamped 3X 'Beaver' which means it has 'some' beaver in the felt whereas the current 3X does not. It's a decent entry level hat in good shape.
