carter said:I purchased an Open Road beater and decided to see what I could do with it. I'd seen a bash that looked like a Montana Peak from the front but had only one big dent in the back. I've since seen this called Two Dents & a Mule Kick and an Oreanna. I kinda like the ist one as it seems appropriate. Anyway, here's my attempt at it.

I like the look. It doesn't look like something you see everyday and it has a workingman's look
I wouldn't call it pretty. The hat is still in need of a better cleaning than I can do and the old Cattleman's Creases are still noticable.

Yes not true OR but 100. Band is pictured in an add a lounger posted, maybe the mustang, hard to tell which hat goes with what description.mingoslim said:But if I might, I do not think it is a true OR . . .

Wow! Well I sure appreciate the experience in here that lead me to appreciate these items.jamespowers said:Only experienced hatters at the factory were allowed to handle these expensive bodies because they didn't want to entrust making such a hat to a newbie that is for sure. Whoever made it likely had been a hatter for decades. They knew what they were doing.
It wasn't just a comment it is strue. A common Open Road could have been made on the line by anybody. Yours is the work of a master craftsman using top notch materials. :eusa_clap
Thanks for the positive post. Been wearing it a lot.Pilgrim said:If I had a Stetson 100, I sure wouldn't worry about whether it was an Open Road or not. Those 100s are the cream of the Stetson line...that's an absolutely superb hat! :eusa_clap
