STETSON HELP NEEDED

[tinmanzzz]

I’m looking for information on a vintage Stetson Hat and hope someone here can Help.
And before anyone asks, Yes I Googled it & Yes I searched our files.
The hat is the “ROAD RUNNER” in beaver felt with chin strap holes and vent holes on each side . I would love pictures showing the bash.

Why you ask?

Well, I have a new project hat. I just purchased a 1965 Alboum Sheriff’s Hat in 3x Beaver new in the box….. And I don’t want to be mistaken for Jackie Gleason in Smokey & the Bandit. Sooo. I thought that I could shape it more like the ROAD RUNNER.
brim is 2 3/4 crown is 5"

Any help would be welcome.

I don't follow. What's the question?

He's looking for pics of a Stetson Road Runner.

Found this shot of a miniature of one...

Here's a miniature of a Stetson Road Runner found online. Found others, but they were cowboy hats this is too, but looks like fedora. I guess those are vent holes, but clearly not to scale.

Thanks Deanglen

This is what I first saw. The Sheriff's hat will lend itself to a center dent with a pinch.
I'm starting to wonder if there was such a hat made by Stetson.
Thanks for the pic.

Here's more, confirming the maker and the style, but of course it's a straw:
