    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 love the Fed IV!!

    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...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    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...

    Late 1970's/early 1980's Colt Sauer Sporting rifle in .270 with Redfield scope... My wife surprised me with it for Christmas about 15 years ago. It was NIB, never fired.

    The Resistol Roundup

    SWEET Mid-ribbon Roger! Nice snag by your wife... 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 love the Fed IV!!

    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.

    The Curse of Indiana Jones

    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...

    The Curse of Indiana Jones

    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. The Strat came out before the OR Thin Ribbon version. A wide ribbon version of the Open Road was out in the early...

    Maternal Dissaproval

    The black fedora gets the Amish/Jewish like the brown one or most other colors get you the Indiana Jones comments. A lighter color, Silverbelly, would reflect off more heat for your Florida climate & maybe get her off your case some. When I was 19, my mother's opinion of hair length, hats...
