This hat was made by the John B. Stetson Company. It is their iconic Open Road style, with a thin ribbon and a fedora flanged brim. This was their high end Stetson 25 model, meaning it cost 25 dollars when new. It has a wind string, a cut-down 2-1/4″ brim and a laced sweatband.

This vintage hat was made by Stetson under the Mallory name after their buyout of that brand. Stylistically, it is identical to the Stetson Open Road. It is a size 7, and has a bound brim, narrow ribbon and cattleman blocked crown.
Bee’s answer to the Stetson Open Road. Thin ribbon, wind string, bound brim. Center dent. Fancy pleated lining. This hat’s probably from the 1950s. It claims to be “custom made” but just how “custom” it really was- who knows?
A nice example of a late ’30s, early ’40s Dobbs. Sold last year.
Unusual ribbon color.
Early-style blue and gold liner
Twisted bow knot.
Thin, wide leather sweatband with deep embossing.
