I have yet to see an open crown OR. While my CD has a fairly straight sided blocking is the OR blocked on a more tapered block like a #51?. I have a Resistol OR like hat. It has a 5 1/4" open and has some taper to it. I love the hat but a definitely different profile from my CD. Thoughts?The current Campdraft has a very average 5 ½” open crown. You can crease it where it looks very similar in height to the current Open Road. A 5 ½” open crown is certainly not a tall crown and lower than most western hats. It’s a classic dress hat crown height and it certainly looks a lot lower on most people. Look the the several threads we have here on the Campdraft and see how it looks on others. Angles and proportions make a huge difference on how a hat looks in photos. As a size 7 ½ I doubt you’ll think the crown looks too tall once it’s creased.
