This special edition of the iconic Open Road was created exclusively for the USA 250 collection to honor America’s 250th anniversary. Introduced in 1937, the Open Road 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). The USA 250 Edition is customized with a red, white and blue USA 250 satin liner and a gold-tone USA branding iron hat pin with red, white and blue inset stones. Its classic profile, with its western-style 4 1/4" low cattleman crown and 2 3/4" bound-edge brim easily transitions from country to city, and looks equally sharp on a woman or a man. Like all Open Roads, it’s finished with a grosgrain hat band, with a handsewn genuine leather sweatband for a time-tested, comfortable fit.
The Open Road USA 250 Edition is crafted from a proprietary 6X fur felt, which gives it its substantial feel and stiffness. Includes a limited edition Stetson USA 250 hat box.
The USA 250 Collection commemorates America's founding in 1776 with five special-edition hats that reflect a uniquely American tradition of craftsmanship and style—one Stetson has upheld since 1865. Each hat features its own signature patriotic details and is handmade in the U.S.A..

Felt Hat Care
Felt Hat Care
Store your felt hat upside down on its crown, on a clean surface or in a hat box to keep the brim from flattening out.
Remove dust and loose dirt with a soft brush, starting at the left side of the hat and brushing counter-clockwise.
Avoid exposing your hat to the heat from stoves, radiators, lamps, car windows and enclosed cars in the summer. The combination of the heat and perspiration will shrink the sweatband.
*** If your hat gets wet, shake off the excess water, and turn down the “self-conforming” leather sweatband. This will allow the hat to dry naturally. While the hat is wet, don’t let the brim touch the surface and don’t place it near heat. Heat can reactivate the felting process and cause shrinkage.
To keep perspiration from penetrating the fur felt, occasionally turn down the leather sweatband so it can dry out. -Should your hat, (if it is light colored) become spotted with water or grease, you can clean it with a little baby talc or corn starch - not liquid cleanser, please!
To put on or remove your hat, hold the brim in front and back, handle the crown as little as possible.
Your hat will last a lifetime if you follow these important instructions.
