The Other Open Roads.....

[Bamaboots]

Piggybacking on the OR conversation, does anyone have suggestions for where to order wind trolleys/cords that can be added to the hats listed above? I have a modern Strat I'd like to add one to for that "vintage" vibe.

Thanks,

Biltmore is now making a Panama version called the LBJ. It's in the new Spring 2016 catalog.

Anybody know the age Open Road in this listing ?
Thanks

 

[Monavillecowboy]

Have the seller look inside the sweatband to see if there is a date.
It's on the newer hats maybe they did it back then as well.

early to mid 50's from what I can see....the size tag puts in the OPS period or later.....if that is the onion skin as opposed to a clear plastic cover over the liner, then the oldest known dated example known is 1952....your mileage may very....

Excellent reply thanks. That hat sold fast.

I poked around until I located it. Yes -- it looks good, and is listed as having a 2 3/8" brim.

Here ya go!

Don't mind the butcher paper, it's in there for some extra padding and the fact that I sweat a lot. Haha

Greetings All:
I see the Shudde Bros Houston still has ??? by it since the beginning of the thread.
So here’s mine:
Shudde Bros Houston Pure Beaver.
Pretty pristine, 3” brim, 3/16” trim ribbon, 3/8” ribbon bow. Very nice fairly stiff felt.
Looks like an OR to me.
Be well. Bowen
Ps: i have a Stetson Open Trail that dimensionally is like the OR but it sports a 1” ribbon so i don’t know if it should be on the list.????

Not my hat, way too small. But in looking for Resistols I have come across a couple of Herdsman. Since it isn't on the list, here is one.

I have a Dalton thin ribbon that goes nameless that I'd put in this category. Also the Hoyt Hat Company Demon Hanover.

I almost bought that one about 2 bidding cycles back. I am VERY interested to hear about the quality on this one. It looks fabulous! I got my OR instead, but if my bidding had gone higher I would have come back to this one. So glad to see a FL'r take this home.

I have a Portis that looks like a Strat or OR clone. No special name listed anywhere on the sweat; just Tissue-Lite.

Also a thin ribbon Royal Stetson with no OR marking anywhere.
