Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?Won't someone ask a question!?

Moreover, isn't boorish behavior against the rules?
Here's one for the TAR (thin a** ribbon) experts. The Stetson Open Road, and the Stetson Stratoliner. Two iconic and very popular models, and two which themselves did vary over the years. But in similar years (year's?) hats, what are specific differences between the two? (They are after all, very similar in many ways). Thoughts? Theories? Known facts?
ETA, FWIW I have a total of 6 Open Roads and 5 Stratoliners (including the new Royal Deluxe and a Milan), all varying vintages. And though I could speak in generalities, I really can't codify a good answer to the question above. I suspect there are those here who can... (but feel free to post your own observations even if you cannot).
tonyb said:I've heard it said that Stratoliners were of a lighter weight felt than Open Roads. I've owned four Stats (still got a couple of 'em) and a slew of Open Roads, and about all that owning those hats and reading about them has taught me for certain is that there is very little about them that can be said for certain.
A Stratoliner may more valuable than a comparable Open Road, if for no other reason than its relative scarcity (and therefore its desirability to us hat nuts).
