    Here is my latest addition.....a (80's?) OR clone......with simply awsome thin, supple, finely finished felt. Can almost blow a crease into it. Everytime I pick it up, the crease changes a little.........did not know they made them this nice in the later years, when over here, they were...

    The Other Open Roads.....

    Here is another sort of Stetson OR/Stratoliner clone. More Stratoliner really because of the crown blocking and ribbon configuration. Sort of a clone as it has only a 2 1/8 inch brim!:eek::eek::eek: In real life it is a medium grey/blue...............it was NOS and has the heavy gold liner...

    The Other Open Roads.....

    I will say those early 1930's wide crown ribbon OR's did not have a bound edge. And by those standards of all OR simular hats from all periods, ANY hat could qualify as an OR clone..........and I do not think that is really the intention of this thread which is clearly interested in the now...
