    Thoroughbred Hats?

    Open Roads were initially open crown, like present day Akubra Campdrafts. They could be creased anyway the buyer or the hat shop desired. Later, they became factory creased in alpine/cattleman creases. The "style" I was referring to is more than the crease. OR's have a distinct ribbon treatment...

    Thoroughbred Hats?

    Nice snag. More of a Corral style than an OR = 2 ply ribbon, unbound edge, cattleman crease. Looks to say Cactus for the color on the label, right?

    THE SATIN FINISH/LONG HAIR CLUB

    So some may learn about hats & the Ignore List feature of the forum, this is the only post I see except Josh bumping it up. Point #1 = you do not pounce this finish of a hat = Art does have better things to do since he won't be pouncing this at all. Point #2 = looks to be a fuzzy pimp hat from...

    THE SATIN FINISH/LONG HAIR CLUB

    When somebody posts photos they are asking for opinions & some of them may be different than expected or yours. Some come the Lounge & start name calling without having any understanding about hats or what the Lounge is about.

    Top Quality Biltmore

    The Calgary that I saw in OKC was a factory pressed in cattleman crease. The 2 hats I have from Biltmore, listed on Hats Plus as Open Roads, have no reference to Open Door or Open Road on them. 1 has Wilderness on the tag & Wilderness Collection on the liner. The other has 5X on the tag &...

    Top Quality Biltmore

    Have to disagree Jeff about the "not caring until selling old stock" opinion. We were unaware these could be acquired OPEN CROWN until they put them on their website at a lower price than Miller's, who shut down. BIG difference....I knew Miller's Open Door was available but reviews were not that...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    The Wanderer & Playboy share about the same size ribbon, about 1". The Wanderer goes back to the early 1930's & the Playboy well into the late 1950's, later but those were not the same specs.
