Stretch a 7 3/8 Clear Beaver Open Road? o_O

I think a better plan is to sell it to me and go find a 7 1/2.

I tossed it in the ‘Bay for someone that it fits to retrieve …

I just received my 3X a little while ago. It is the absolutely most perfectly fitting Open Road I've ever owned, so, needless to say - I'm elated. The other two that I had in 3X 7 3/8 were both slightly earlier hats, and the felt was softer and more 'buttery'. So this one's stiff, but that's great for wearing outdoors in our rainy weather. The hat appears to be new and unworn, but I am not going to succumb to 'collector mentality'.

I compared it to my twenty-five that's only a few years older (manilla tag) and can't tell much difference - maybe the OR is a hair taller. The OR is also a little less tan - touch of grey.

As a side-note, I've been looking for posts from my old buddies here, and I'm noticing that a lot of them have been gone for years, and they were/are not that old. Did we have a purge while I was wandering around in other forums? Was I purged? Is this me talking? :p
