Western, anyone?

[T Jones]

Thanks, Terry. The brim is 3 inches wide.

That's what I thought it was. It's a good style for you.

Alright, so I got this Open Road on eBay from our very own Brent (deadlyhandsome). I love the felt on it, if this was a Stetson it would have been way way more valuable, but since it's not branded he sold it for a great price. The question is, do I keep the cattleman's crease? I'm kinda thinking a teardrop would look better. The brim is wonderful too, and it snaps down.

Crease away! The first vintage O.R. I bought was no longer a Cattleman (more of a diamond crease than a teardrop).

Play around with it as you will, it's your hat.

My Royal Stetson OR looks good Fedora type style imo.

That’s what I think I’ll go for. This Open Road is a lot like the Royal Deluxe style.

I tend to go with a front pinch as well.

Stetson Big Country. I’ve spent a couple days trying to change it to a long oval. I’ve used a hat jack and a custom LO band block along with frequent applications of steam. I’m afraid that it’s just not conforming and is still uncomfortable to wear.

Shame it's not playing ball, Brent. It sure looks a fantastic Western. I really like the ribbon and bow.

Thanks, Steve. It’s a whole lot of hat and right now it definitely wears me and it’s uncomfortable while doing it. It does make me miss @Joao Encarnado

That’s too bad. Love the look with the wider ribbon

Thanks, Joe. I also like westerns with wider ribbon.

My idea of what a 1920’s - 1930’s western doctor might have worn.

Great looking Western, wonderful liner, and nice provenance, Jack.

Thanks, it was trapped in a Strat diamond crease & snapped down brim for a long time.
