Huckel Special from the hat shop of the "Flying Finn", Paavo Nurmi in Helsinki.

Battersby Homburg from England, very soft and supple, probably 1950s

And a sweet stingy from Penn-Craft under English License. Short hair finish, yummy.

Worth the wait- my Royal Deluxe Silver Belly Open Road arrived today!

This is simply a gorgeous hat. As an enthusiast of western (cowboy) hats, I love the blend of elements inherent in the OR: cattleman's crease, 2 3/4 brim, up or down brim options, tons of tradition. It's a fedora feel with western sizzle. I like the slightly wider brim, as compared to my Chatham Royal Deluxe. Plus, if I ever decided to be daring and change the bash, this pliable fur felt will accomodate.

The front brim snapped down fits my tastes right now. I'll have to steam the brim to flatten it out a bit if I want to pull off the brim up all the way around look. But overall, I'm really pleased with this hat.

The hat is fantastic. And you are a natural for the OR style... it just looks great.

Congratulations. There is nothing quite like the arrival of a "just right" hat.

I truly appreciate these amazing sentiments. I really do appreciate it.

I will say, after seeing how much I like the OR in Silver Belly, I am seriously considering the OR in Sage. I find it to be a truly fantastic hat and color.

I took the liberty of watching some of your drum videos after seeing them in the related.
Tight drumming my man.

I agree with these gentlemen 100% Doug. That OR looks like it was made specifically for you!

Not quite big enough, but someone might want it. How late was the No.1 model offered?
