T Jones,
Could we say that this alter-creation of yours brings a simile to an Akubra Fed?

If that's the way it looks to you, then you sure can!

 

[DaveProc]

Early 1960s Open Road with embroidered liner and original box. Has some mothing and staining. I don't mind, kind of like the real been used look, as opposed to the new intentional "distressed" look that is apparently a thing these days.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Early 1970's 3X OR in dark gray. Not sure what they called the color but appears to be very close to Caribou today.

No tags but has chalk numbers 7/5 behind sweat.

Looks great Jack! Congrats on the good get.

Hey Jack:
Dynomite hat!
The color is outstanding and one i can’t think of anything i’ve really seen before.
Maybe a Flint Gray or something.
Really cool hat and color!

Thanks Bowen. Flint gray would be a good choice for a name. I'll be looking for a catalog listing to see what Stetson might have called it at the time. As you know it's hard to find a vintage OR in any color other than SB. I'm liking this hat a lot.

Great hat, HJ. Really like the color that reminds me a lot of my Levine and it's a favorite. Any color of these hats other than SB is a good find.

I was thinking how the color might compare to your Levine when you posted your Top Ten the other day & this OR hadn't arrived yet.

I like that color.

Finally got a gray OR! This one's 1940's.
The onion skin tip protector obscures the Stetson logo but I'm happy it's still present.

That's impressive, Robert! 40s and a color that's nigh on impossible to find.

Thanks Jim. I was thinking I would never find a grey OR. My size too!
