Here is my Stetson 25 open road . I would say 1964 dated based on that it says that in the liner.

It's not a new acquisition. I've had it since October. It's my first vintage felt hat.Very nice. My twenty five is a favorite. Is that a recent acquisition?

This is a stellar 25 Jim! It is kind of a challenge for dating, if it is 60s, it must be very early. I also went through the thread. I think you are on the right track in your thinking.I received this wonderful Stetson 25 Open Road from Adrian (@Miamibruno) a couple of days ago. He was kind enough to sit on it for me for a couple of months, knowing I couldn't grab it right away, but also knowing it was a "Bucket List" hat for me. I couldn't be happier. This is a great hat - the materials and workmanship are top notch. My only other OR is a 3X, and this felt is as dense or more so than the 3X, but softer, more pliable, and with a better hand.
I'm a little flummoxed on dating this thing, however, and would like to have a little confirmation from the gallery, please. I've been through this thread, and the "25" logo in this hat is what I believe puts it in the 1960s. Everything else, though, would tell me 1950s. The size tag, the stitched in liner, the felt quality, etc. I'm assuming 1960s, but the other accouterments must be indicative of the quality level of the hat?
Anyway, on to the pics!

Pardon the marks, that's just distilled water from steaming and ironing out the crown. I put it out on the back porch post to dry, but wanted to get some shots in the daylight before the sun went down.

At just shy of 3 1/4", this hat is easily my biggest brimmed hat. I believe it's the same as David's (@DJH) Twenty-Five.
