About this hat

The short brim is what defines this shape. At 2 3/4 inches with a bound edge, it sits close to the head and pairs with a 4 1/4-inch crown pressed in a cattleman crease, the way Open Roads have been finished since 1948. The 6X fur felt gives it a smooth hand and good structure at a sensible price for the grade.

Trim is a grosgrain band with a branding-iron pin stamped JBS. A genuine leather sweatband and satin lining sit inside. Colors: Silverbelly, Brown Mix, Fawn, Black, Chocolate and Caribou. Sizes start at 6 5/8 and go to 7 3/4, all handmade in the U.S.A.

Material6x fur felt
CrownIntroduced in 1937, the Open Road was originally sold with an open crown, which could then be creased to the customer’s liking. Since 1948, it has been finished with a traditional, hand-pressed cattleman crease, and has been worn by modern pioneers and trailblazers ever since, from artists and outlaws to Presidents (including, most notably, LBJ, who was rarely photographed on his Texas ranch without his Open Road).
Brim2 3/4" Bound Edge Brim

Fit & care

A bound-edge brim holds its line well, but don't set the hat brim-down on a table or the edge will flatten over time. Fur felt brushes clean; for a sweat line at the band, a barely damp cloth and patience do the job.
