The Open Road Guild

It is a nice hat BUT does not need to be thrown into threads where it does not belong, all Willy Nilly, in AN EXPRESSED EFFORT TO SELL IT (or trade). It needs to go to the classifieds......

I’m not trying to sell it or trade it, and this thread is full of Open Road like hats that aren’t open roads. I appreciate your opinion

I landed another 3X OR, I have been keeping my out for an embroidered Last Drop liner and finally found one in a 7 1/2 LO. Last picture is of my other 3X seems identical just the other liner.

Sweet, sweet finds! Ironically i just scored a 3X Last Drop OR (7 1/2 LO), mine is missing the wind cord but, as they say "I got that" and will replace it.

I think I saw that other one come up just after I bought this one. Congrats on your find as well.

Just wanted to thank you all for these threads. I've recently decided to revive the memories of my late grandfather who always wore the Open Road. Frankly, I thought he was the only one and had no idea they had a cult following. He was from Billings, MT, and I live in southwestern PA, so I was unsure if I could get away with it and y'all have taught me an awful lot.

So far I have a late 1950's to early 1960s 25, a mid to late 1970's 4x, and a modern 3x (best style of the lot but crap felt--feels like something one could buy at a Tractor Supply). As long as I only use these threads for amusement purposes I think I will only need a hemp model for straw hat season, but I think we all know what's going to happen.

Anyways, a sincere "thank you" for all the information and I'll resume being very quiet because I don't know butter beans from apple butter about hats.

My Open Road Royal Deluxe in Cognac arrived today…..it’s 90 degrees in Texas for the foreseeable future so I don’t know when I will get to wear it
