Is this an Open Road on Orson?
That darn hat is so versatile-looks good on just about anyone with a head on their shoulders; just great design-simple,elegant,functional. I only spend about every waking hour trying to design something anywhere close...hence the graying hairs in me beard & wobbly eyes- -
