Truman and Open Road
I've been taken by old photos of Harry Truman and the way he wore his Open Roads. Earlier in this thread Art Fawcett describes the crease as a teardrop with forward pinches, but unfortunately the photo of Art's version has been removed. In all the photos I can find of Truman and his Open Road... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Hi everyone. It's been a few days so I'll do some catching up. A couple of days ago, wearing a '50s Open Road. Today, on a hike around the Bay shore. It was unexpectedly windy and I didn't wear a shirt with a button hole to attach the wind trolley of my Bluegrass Green CD, so I had to... -

Suits you perfectly, Richard. I think a trip to Los Alamos is in order now. -

Great pic, Harv. I see you brought your ridin' hat, too. :o -

David--that's why it's a classic, I suppose. Probably my favorite style, too. I'm always on the lookout for another one. -

Pretty much, 2 3/4" brim, 5 1/2" open crown, with a felt quality that comes close to my Stetson 100. Vintage Resistols are underrated hats IMHO. David, the pug does look proportional to the hat. Nice choice. -

The nicest comment I ever heard
It sure does, doesn't it moe? I never get negative comments, and total strangers often come up to me and comment on the hat I'm wearing. -

Another great display today, everyone. moon-I just love that hat. Inspires me to wear my cattleman's creased Resistol tomorrow. Bob--like the way you have the CD creased. I may give it a try with mine. moe--I'm liking your original. Looks like the fog stayed in up there today. Since I... -

Here's another example of a Playboy with a "fancy" ribbon. The ribbon on this almond-colored version has hints of the felt color but fades to a light rose. I'm guessing this one was made sometime in the late '40s or thereabouts. -
Stretch-O-Block Advice Needed
clintfisher, the key operative word is "slowly". The mechanical advantage of that screw could have you popping stitches in the sweatband if you try to make it happen too fast. A couple of drawbacks to using a stretcher are possibly causing the brim to warp and the sweatband to telegraph through... -

Esther--thank you. I've been quietly admiring your work. Your hats are fantastic. tommy--the Borso is also my lightest and thinnest. I have another Alessandria-style Borso that may have been made several years later and although it's very light and thin, it's the not quite the same as the... -

A lightweight Borsalino this morning. -

Just lucky, Harv. I count my hat blessings every day (as my wife wonders what I'm doing with the iron and the teakettle). [huh] -

Thanks, man. The Lee is probably early-mid '50s since it came with the pre-blocked crown that Lee began doing sometime around then. I steamed out the teardrop and left it with a simple center dent. I have a more pristine Trinity that has an open crown so I'm guessing it's older. I'll second... -

A two hat day for me, brims up. Lee Trinity Resistol, thin-ribbon OR-style, a San Antonio or something...
