FOR SALE: Stetson Open Road Royal DeLuxe 7 1/8 Prototype

[rclark]

Up for sale is this new Stetson Royal DeLuxe Open Road mink/tan ribbon and bound edge in size 7 1/8. It is a factory prototype/sample that I recently purchased at the Hatco outlet store in Garland. This color combination, sweatband, and liner are not in production. The felt is comparable to the felt on my Premiere Strat, and has very little stiffener in it unlike the modern production Open Roads. Sadly, as much as I would like to make this hat work for me, I'm a true 7 1/4 and this 7 1/8 is just too tight of a fit for me, and I don't want to risk such a unique hat to the stretcher. I'm hoping this hat goes to someone who will appreciate this one-of-a-kind hat as much as I do. Will ship in a Stetson box. $190 shipped CONUS. Please PM me with questions/inquiries.

Me too or I wouldn't be selling it. My life would be a bit easier if I were a size 7 1/8!

Mine too. Then again maybe it would harder. If I could fit into 7 1/8 I would have a lot more vintage hats... and my wife would probably kill me.
