Handcrafted in the U.S.A., the Pure Open Road is made with luxurious 100% pure beaver fur felt for unbeatable softness and natural resilience. With only a handful in production, the Pure Open Road is an investment piece that turns any evening into a special occasion. With its western-style crown and 2 ¾” bound-edge brim, the Pure Open Road easily transitions from country to city, and looks equally sharp on a woman or a man.
Introduced 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).
The Pure Open Road features a premier roan sweatband with gold lacing and a 4 ¼” crown outfitted with a grosgrain hat band and a commemorative 1865 hat pin, a nod to our over 150 years history of making the finest hats in the world.

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.
