The Open Road Guild

I got a nice Stetson 20X Open Road a couple of years ago from Paris Hatter in San Antonio. It is much softer than the currently available Open Roads n 4 or 6X, whatever that all means nowdays.

I'll bet Abe at Paris Hatters still has a couple of the 20x and 10x Open roads around. Then again, they sold VERY well for him.

Was just having a discussion with Eric about ORs in colors other than the common silverbelly .

It made me want to take Eric inspired pictures of two that I have

The green is a very early '50s ... If not late '40s
The gray is mid to late '50s

Man, Anthony, those are both very sweet hats. I especially like the green one.

 

[hatophile]

Is that a khaki or moss green Anthony? It's very nice.
I have one (actually wearing it tomorrow) in a mint green color.

[DJH]

Yes, fantastic Open Road. As much as I like the Silverbelly ORs, it is always a treat to see some variation.

I agree 100%, Moon. Nothing quite as exciting to see as a non-silverbelly. My collection pales in comparison to yours though. I tip my OR to you sir!

Great non traditional OR, 40! Love the liner!

Thanks Jim, I like the liner too.... not sure why they made these purple liners?

 

[Bamaboots]

Great hat, 40. What a color. I'm a little purple with envy.

It's the color of "royalty?"
