70s ERA STETSON 3X BEAVER OPEN ROAD HAT 7 1/4 FORMED HOBO STYLE GOOD VTG COND.
Item History & Price
THIS IS A STETSON OPEN ROAD HAT IN SILVER BELLY COLOR. IT IS A SIZE 7 1/4 AND FITS AS SUCH. THE OVAL IS 6 1/2 X 8 INCHES AND A NEARABOUT 22 5/8 INNER RIM. IT DOES FIT MY 7 1/4 NOGGIN COMFORTABLY. THE CROWN RISES 4 1/2 INCHES WITH A CENTER DENT PINCH FRONT KING OF THE ROAD FEDORA BASH. THE BRIM IS 2 5/8 INCHES WIDE WITH A GROSGRAIN TRIMMED EDGE. THE FELT IS SOFT AND SUPPLE ABOUT LIKE A ROYAL STETSON ONLY THICKER. THERE ARE A FEW TINY MOTH DIVOTS... ON THE TOPSIDE WHICH ARE HARD TO SPOT AND WOULDNT SHOW UP IN THE PICTURES BUT ARE THERE AND MENTIONED. THERE ALSO ARE A FEW TINY SPOTS PINHEAD SIZED THAT DONT SHOW IN THE PIX. CANT SAY WHAT THEY ARE FROM AND THEY DONT SHOW MUCH BUT ARE MENTIONED AS I STRIVE TO MENTION EVERYTHING MY OLD EYES CAN SPOT SO MY BUYERS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE RECEIVING. THE OLDER 3X BEAVER LIKE THIS ONE HAS IN MY EXPERIENCE BEEN MUCH BETTER IN QUALITY THAN THE NEWER 6X RATED HATS WHICH ARE STIFF LIKE A HELMET. THE LINER IS CLEAN AND UNSTAINED AND IS THE DISTINCTIVE 70s ERA DIAMOND PATTERNED ONE. THE SWEAT BAND IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH NO CRACKS OR SPLITS AND THE GOLD LETTERING IS A LITTLE WORN BUT CLEARLY LEGIBLE. A HANDSOME OLDER OPEN ROAD AND A REAL ONE NOT AN OPEN ROAD STYLE AS MANY LIST THEIR HATS. NOT MINT BUT GOOD LOOKING AND COMFORTABLE LIKE AN OLD HAT SHOULD BE. NUFF SAID
