The Open Road Guild
Not too odd.....at this time the 3X were offered as the "western" version of the OR, and consequently were stiffer (giving a completely differant hand to the felt) than the Royal Deluxe which was the softer "fedora" version. You will notice, that while stiffer the 3X were thinner finer felt... -
The Open Road Guild
That looks like a nice one! Are there any tags behind the sweat? Also any evidence of a wind cord? That one should have had one.....which many people do remove....unfortunately....of course pretty easy to replace....but it does look great without too........nice get! -
Vintage Stetson - The Sovereign?
Here I have one of the last of the breed (before the sellout). A Stetson Sovereign with the felted "mode edge". Has the pre-metric square tag, wide ribbon with wind cord and is quite tapered as was the style of the mid-60's. Felt is actually not too bad.......Darker than the photo's it is a... -

The Other Open Roads.....
Here (on the middle left) is my new addition (thanks to theoldfashioned) a 40's Dobbs 20. No model name but like their "Westward" with just a bit more crown and brim....it is a sort of grey/tan (in bright light looks very grey, but "changes" color with it's background) with a grey/lavender... -

Steam can get off the residue USUALLY. Sometimes you will need a solvent like rubbing alcohol to break it down. Use the rubbing alcohol SPARINGLY, AND test the felt first. It CAN in some cases remove the dye as well.:eek: M -

Ask a question, get an answer
Texture, width, and logo impression point to one from the mid to late 60's......they did some of those ribbon styles then too....I think I even have one listed just like it in my one of my catalog postings.... -

The STETSON WAY, Advertising and ephemera of the Golden Era
Yes, after the war (and wearing Army Green for a few years) they seemed to think we men needed advice on how to dress again. They ran these sorts of ads from 1945 and ending in 1950........they are really cool for us now just to see what it was suggested they do wear........as I am sure there... -
Leather sweat band care?
You may also rub some leather treatment on it to sort of "seal" it. May just be dye transfer.......this can work even if fake leather. If besides the dye, you are getting actual debris or small flakes this can help that too.....but as Fruno said....in that event the sweat is composite, will...
