    FS or Trade: Vintage Stetson Royal De Luxe Open Road Size 7 1/4

    I'm certainly open to any offers. If I don't get any interest I will probably list it on Ebay. It's a nice hat and I was hoping it would go to somebody here that would appreciate it. Thanks.

    FS or Trade: Vintage Stetson Royal De Luxe Open Road Size 7 1/4

    Johnny, The hat opening is 6 1/2" by 8". The brim length is 2 5/8". The front and back of the crown is 4 1/2" as creased. The high point of the crown is about 5" as creased. I'm not sure about the open crown height because I don't want to disturb the current crease by pushing it up. The felt...

    FS or Trade: Vintage Stetson Royal De Luxe Open Road Size 7 1/4

    I purchased a couple of vintage Stetsons in a package deal. One fit me and one didn't. The one that didn't fit me is a beautiful vintage Stetson Royal De Luxe Open Road in a size 7 1/4 with a wind trolley. The hat appears to have never been worn. There are no stains or moth bites. The sweatband...

    Hatter, I think I'm probably going to give it a try. It's driving me crazy looking at it....I want it to fit so bad! In case you or anybody else is interested, below is a link to some cotton liners I've used before. I've never tried them in a felt hat but they look like they may work well. I...

    That is good to hear Gromulus. I might just bash it and see what happens after awhile. Thanks for your input.

    Akubra Campdraft

    JT, My experiences with vintage Open Roads is very similar. Everyone seems different but the sweatbands all seemed to shrink a little with time and wear. That is why I was curious if the Campdraft might do the same.

    Akubra Campdraft

    I haven't tried them just because I prefer not to use them. My experience with similar type strips in the past is that they seem to distort the sweatband. Also, this hat seems so big I think it probably wouldn't help. I really don't want to do anything to affect the hat until I decide for sure...

    New Akubra Silverbelly Campdraft Deluxe I made a similar post as what follows on the Akubra Overload thread but thought I'd post it here also to get the opinions of the followers on this thread. I received my new Silverbelly Akubra Campdraft Deluxe today and the hat is beautiful. The...

    Thanks. That is great to hear. I currently have 6 or 7 old Open Roads and love the feel of the old felt. I can't understand why Stetson makes the new Open Roads so stiff. If they would go back to a soft open crown I bet they would sell like hot cakes.

    JTopenroad, The hat looks great. I like the bash. How would you say it compares to an older Open Road?

    Silverbelly Campdraft Deluxe I received my new Silverbelly Akubra Campdraft Deluxe today and the hat is beautiful. The customer service was great and the shipping time wasn't too bad. It took exactly 10 days from Australia to Texas. Unfortunately, the bad news is, it is way too big. I took...

    Stetson Stratoliner Milan {modern}

    Yes, it is brown and looks just like the one in the picture except it also had a little brown cloth tag that had Stetson on it just below the bow. I didn't like it so I just removed it. It was lightly glued on. Sorry I don't have a camera handy or I would take some pictures.

    jkingrph, I think you will be very pleased with it. I hope Stetson will continue to make them. They are great hats.

    Stetson Stratoliner Milan {modern}

    I recently purchased one of these from Meyer The Hatter and received it yesterday. It is a very nice hat and of much better quality than the Shantung Open Road. The brim snapped down and stayed in place without any steaming needed. My Shantung Open Road required steaming and doesn't look near as...

    WTB: Resistol San Antonio 7 3/8 Long Oval

    I'm still looking if somebody has one and would like to sell it. A 7 3/8 or 7 1/2 will work.

    I saw that hat too but unfortunately it was not my size either. Beautiful hat. He didn't mention in the description that it is a San Antonio style hat but I assume it is since it is a Resistol. I'd love to find one in my size.

    Rodkins, that is a great hat. If that hat was standard issue to the game wardens in Colorado then they definitely have good taste.
