60's Mini OR clone the "Auctioneer"....all the look....2" brim..7 3/8 LO
Here I have an Auctioneer.....an awsome hat with the feel of the old 3X Stetson felt. Silverbelly, bound edge, thin ribbon, wind trolley. Very, very clean and ready to go! Only thing I saw is a litte finish flaked off the sweat where a name was embossed. Sweat is not broke and is in great...- M Hatman

The Other Open Roads.....
It should be remembered, that the OR was not introduced as just a western hat..... Here is a copy of my 1950 ad.....it shows the (now) classic crease. I must admit, I really like the Catteman crease in an OR.......it just looks classy on that hat. That said, I have a Dobbs clone with that... -
The Other Open Roads.....
The OR came open crown and was not always advertised with a "Rancher" or "Cattlemen's" crease (see the 1948 ad above, shows a standard center crease with front pinches). This same crease was used for many western hats.....but as most westerns also came open crown, many, many, differant creases... -
The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}
Different hats have always had different levels of sizing (stiffeners) added/or not. The difference between a Bowler/Derby for instance and a "soft" hat/fedora. Or a stiff western and a Fedora......some western hats are very stiff indeed. Back in the day, Stetson even differentiated between... -

Homburg Nation
Ok, here is one of my favorites, a fairly recent Stratton longhair finish rich dark brown Homburg of real nice proportions. 5 1/2 inch open crown, 2 1/2 inch brim. Very hard to photograph........Now they no longer make anything but law enforcement hats and a couple of western styles. M -

That is a bummer:eek::( Does it look like there is a hole behind it or just extra material on top. If the latter it can be pounced off (sanded) with litte effort and a very fine grit sandpaper. If you do not feel you are up to that........send it back.......for a replacement of course.;) Being... -

The Other Open Roads.....
Open Roads while often given a "Rancher" (actually known by many names) crease all originally came open crown. This same style crease is often found on early 20th century fedoras and homburgs as well. I wear modified versions myself on many new and vintage hats........ The "Open Road" as we... -
