growing up my grandpaw always wore his Stetson OPEN ROAD felt hat, im getting my own soon, question is im more of a cowboy type guy and wear western felts, tell and show what you guys wear your OPEN ROAD HATS WITH?
I wear mine with pretty much anything. In addition to the thread mentioned above you can search in here to see what others wear with their Open Roads (or similar style hats).
AS with most things, it's what you're comfortable with. I have an Akubra Campdraft (basically the same design) which I bashed as a Fedora (including steaming the brim down in front); I wear it with anything I'd wear a fedora with (mostly earthtones, as it's silverbelly). I tend not to wear it with denim as I'm not really much into the Western wear look, but I can see that working if it's a style you favour.
Im squarely in the "wear what you want" category these days. I was pretty uptight about what I was supposed to wear with a hat right up until I started wearing them. Once I got comfortable wearing a hat, I realized I didn't really care what I had on when I grabbed my hat, I just liked wearing my hat.
Here's the photo I was looking for. This Lounger (not seen much lately), accessorized his Stetson No. 1 Quality with a bathrobe, chicken wing, and glass of Cabernet.
Sometimes you just need to throw caution to the wind.
Anything you want to wear with it. I know some here will demand I be flogged for mixing khaki with my Open Road but I only get compliments in public. I wear it with t-shirts, Jeans or even a nice dinner jacket and slacks. Probably the most versatile hat you can wear. However you are comfortable wearing it then just do it! Best wishes to you.
