About this hat
Long before it came pre-creased, the Open Road was sold with an open top and shaped at the counter to each buyer's taste. Now the cattleman crease is pressed in by hand at 4 inches, and the style still carries some presidential history, with Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson both among its fans.
This edition is firm-finished 100% shantung, which keeps brim and crown lines crisp. Pick from Cognac, Black, Silverbelly or Taupe. A satin band and a sheepskin sweatband finish it, and it is built by hand in the USA, sized 6 3/4 to 7 3/4. Prices run $155 to $175.

Johnson, and countless other influential and inspiring figures. |

Fit & care
Firm-finish straw resists denting, but it can crack if bent hard, so reshape only with gentle steam. The sheepskin sweatband conforms to your head with wear; start with a snug fit. Store it on its crown, away from damp basements.

Black or Taupe straw works under a sport coat for a summer office party, a different crowd from the one buying disco cowboy hats for Nashville. If you want a cowboy hat that looks at home downtown, start here.
