Stetson Open Road

About

The Stetson Open Road is a wide-brimmed felt hat renowned for its teardrop crown and elegant design. Introduced in 1937, it was originally sold with an open crown, allowing customers to crease it to their liking. Since 1948, it has been finished with a traditional cattleman crease, making it a timeless piece of Western heritage. Handcrafted in the U.S.A., the Open Road features a proprietary fur-felt blend that provides a substantial feel and stiffness, ensuring a secure fit and shape retention in various weather conditions. The Open Road is characterized by its 4 ¼” crown and 2 ¾” bound-edge brim, making it versatile enough to transition seamlessly from country to city. It includes a genuine leather sweatband and a grosgrain hat band with a branding-iron hat pin bearing the initials "JBS," a nod to John B. Stetson's legacy. The hat is available in various models, such as the 6X and 20X, each offering unique features like premium linings and special edition details. Its enduring style has made it a favorite among trailblazers and celebrities alike.
