The Open Road Guild
Nice RD OR! You should be able to reverse your loop on the wind trolley & have the button pushed to the back of the bow instead of the front. Pull the string thru the loop on the button towards the front of the hat & push the button backwards to tighten. HTH & welcome to the Guild... -
It's about time we define "fedora"
Fedora is a style of hat like a western. Hats can be made of different materials = fur felt, wool felt, straw, etc. A fedora then is a style of hat that can be made out of felt or straw. Material does not dictate style. My straw western hat is still as much a western hat as my beaver felt... -
Hat prices hurting hat comeback?
As the demise of Biltmore in Canada & Beaver Brand in the US shows, building a good quality fur felt hat has a certain price point due to the cost of the fur, felting & assembly that will never meet "what an average person would consider to be a reasonable price". That is why good quality hats... -

FS or FT Stetson 7XXXXXXX CB 7 5/8 LO
JMHO but Schudde Bros probably had 7X CB sweats due to their western lines & not one with Open Road marque when they did the refurb. That liner could be out of whack with the date of the hat as well. I sent some photos via email.- gtdean48

Biltmore Western, now Fedora conversion
Western brims are not going to have the cupping in them a fedora brim is flanged to have. Once trimmed, they are going to be very straight & you can get a front swoop but that is about it. Using a steam iron on the edge of a ironing board is a good trick but you have to break down the brim... -
