Typically, the top of the line Diamond Horshoes will have the X's stamped on the sweat = 15X, 20X, 25X...
I'm with Jared = No X's = No beaver content.
I have quite a few vintage Resistols & Diamond Horshoe line is not that vintage...
I can wear a 7 1/2 XLO as well as a 7 5/8 LO.
All of my Akubras, Fed4, 5 Campdrafts, Boss of the Plains, are all 61's.
The reason the smaller size LO felt the same is you feel the pressure more on the front & back of your head than the sides.
With new Akubras I'd get the 58, especially if it...
But the 'pokes were thinking "plow boy"... I'm in & out of western/feed/tractor supply stores all the time, sometimes from the ranch, sometimes from the office. NEVER have I felt like a city boy, more rancher/breeder than working hand/rider, sure, but never a city boy...
I have my grail jacket but in a smaller size so it is my "Guide to the Grail".
Anybody want to trade a Hercules FQHH Half Belt size 44R for the one I have size 40R???

I bought 3 Open Roads from an estate sale once. 1 wore to hell, 1 experienced but not worn out, & 1 pristine.
I bet this was one bought & stored for Sunday's & special occassions...
I scotch guarded my wool crusher that I used to take backpacking & camping on the AT.
Wool felt needs some water repellent treatment...would never do that to fur felt tho....
Western store may be your best bet. Stetson does not do Long Oval & XLong Oval anymore but some other hat companies still do = Atwood, Rodeo King, American Hat Co., etc.
Stetson had models that looked exactly like the OR in catalogs of the 20's & 30's, like the Kingston, the Sky Line, & lots of other no-name versions...
I think just a newspaper/magazine ad is all that has been posted.
There was an old OR that looked to have been modified with a wider ribbon but no proof it was an original from back then.
Lengthy discussion in one of the OR threads a while back. May have archived by now...
Thin Ribbon Open Road came out in late 1940's.
Stetson had many styles that were thin ribbon with bound edge but not tagged as The Open Road judging by the catalogs of the day.

A wide ribbon version of the Open Road was out in the early...
The black fedora gets the Amish/Jewish like the brown one or most other colors get you the Indiana Jones comments.
