The Stetson Open Road

Post about everything from carrying a handkerchief to manly skills (sharpening a pocket knife, etc), to product reviews of items that may have slipped inder our radar (ie Grandpa's Pine Tar soap). No threads on anything 'new' unless it hearkens to old-fashioned sensibilities and ideals.

Have to replace mine after many years of service. In my opinion, the Open Road in silverbelly and the Gus in soft straw are the only two gentlemanly western-style hats.

They're so doggone expensive now I'm considering buying a used hat. Anybody have any experience with a lesser-known maker? I won't wear Resistol but at the price of a new Open Road...custom? Billy Bob's Discount XX hats? Slice the brim off a Range?

A Stetson Route 66 in Mushroom is vaguely similar but in wool felt. It goes for less than half the price of an Open Road so it wouldn't be as tragic if your horse stepped on it.
