Stetson Open Road/Quality Designation Project

Thanks Bowen. Funny... I was just reading back in the old Stetson 25 thread to see if there were photos of an earlier example. Most of the photo links are broken, but I did come across some pronouncements of my own that were mildly horrifying. It's scary how much I seemed to know back then when I knew almost nothing.

Ha ha ha
I enjoy reading back in the old threads and watching the evolution of members knowledge......all except my own. Yikes!!
It’s like reading your old English Literature papers. Nightmare!!

1956 Miller Stockman catalog...

...
4 Quality/Price Levels of "Open Road" Hats

In 1963 version...

The modern Stetson Open Road 6X looks to be very similar to the 1956 Corral and Gun Barrel. I like both!
