Nice as always...rebuilt you say? You had them put in a nice Hemi engine in it! Varooom! Hot looking hat!

Just curious, is there any beaver in this hat?
Thank you.

Just saying, but I'd let the beavers outta the hat; seen what damage they do to trees??

 

[tridentine]

Good news then "Ideaguy".
Thanks

Good qs regarding beaver content. Ill defer that answer to a Stetson expert.

Amen Tom... if only folks would do a little search.

From post here on the Lounge you can tell.
1.It has an Open Road sweat.
2. The ribbon has been changed.
3. The brim has been trimmed.
4. Open Roads with sweats like that do not have wide ribbons [originally]
5.The sweat tells you it isnt an original Wide Ribbon Open Road.
6. Its a sweet looking hat with the changes.

and
Need I go on.....

Agreed! And to be fair, my wife's favorite hat came from bond, too; I don't know that that'll make her any happier. lol
