I wonder what the difference is between the Westward & the Dobbs West Open Trail? What is the brim width & crown height? Any damage other than sweat picking & needing a bath?

Thx for your interest and questions, though I have no answers to your first one lol.

Re: measurements; the brim measures 2 5/8”, and the crown measures (approx) 4 5/8”.

As for the overall condition; the felt is discolored around the crown. You can see it faintly (including in the pictures), but it’s definitely a different color. I have zero idea what it’s from or if it can be “fixed.” There are also a few (I count three) tiny moth nips on the underside of the brim, and one on the top side, but they’re all VERY small by my standard.

My first impression from the pics was the Westward might be a better Stratoliner clone, & therefore the West Open Trail might be the Open Road clone. The dimensions might bear that out. Thanks for the reply!
