A true legend, the Open Road offers a timeless blend of city style and Western tradition. The Open Road Straw Hat is constructed with firm shantung straw and perfected with surround crown ventilation, a toasted natural hue and a versatile brim.
The Open Road owes its name to the fact that it was originally sold with an open crown, which could then be creased to the customer’s liking. These days it comes with a hand-pressed cattleman crown, a classic frontier style worn the world over and well-loved by the likes of Harry Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, and countless other influential and inspiring figures.

HANDLING YOUR HAT
To put on or remove your straw hat, lightly hold the front of the hat, the sturdiest part where the crown meets the brim. Handling by the brim may warp and twist the brim over time, giving it an uneven look. You can also gently put on and take off your hat by the top of the crown. Don't grab it too tightly, or you might crack the straw.
HEAT EXPOSURE
Avoid exposing your hat to the heat from stoves, radiators, lamps, car windows and exclosed cars in the summer. The combination of the heat and perspiration can shrink the sweatband.
STORAGE
Store your straw hat upside down on its crown, on a clean surface or in a box. This helps protect the shape of the brim.
