Description
Crafted by hand in the U.S.A., the Open Road Straw Hat combines high-quality 100% Shantung straw with a firm finish for the ultimate in warm-weather comfort and style. With its western-style crown and 2 ¾” bound-edge brim, the Open Road Straw easily transitions from country to city to beach—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 Open Road Straw features a genuine leather sweatband and a 4 ¼” crown outfitted with a satin hat band.

Size Guide
How to determine your hat size
Option 1: The Measuring Tape Method
Start with a measuring tape (or a piece of string you can measure later), and wrap it around your head, placing it where your hat will sit — typically, at the middle of your forehead and about 1/8″ above your ear. Hold the tape firmly, but not uncomfortably tight. Find your size using the chart below. If your measurement falls between sizes, order a size up; you can always add a bit of padding in the sweatband to achieve the perfect fit.
Option 2: The Snapback Trick
A slightly less accurate, but convenient alternative is to grab a snapback hat, and map your most comfortable fit to the chart. As with the above technique, if your measurement falls between sizes, order a size up. You can always add a bit of padding in the sweatband to achieve the perfect fit.
