Men's Stetson Straw Western Hat - The Open Road
Lyndon Baines Johnson certainly was an imposing man, a Texan through and through. Texas...where everything is so much bigger you only get eleven grapefruit to the dozen. At six foot four with size fourteen boots, LBJ fit the image of a Texan perfectly. Known to be boisterous and a bully, he usually got his way by sheer dint of size. And even though some of his gentleman predecessors like Ike and Harry S. Truman also wore this hat, it was LBJ who indelibly and permanently etched the fabulous Stetson Open Road into our collective consciousness. Dressier than cowboy, our 36th President even wore it with dark blue suits. In fact, other than inside the Oval Office or at funerals, you never saw him without this fine Stetson. The Open Road offers a touch of Western elegance with its slightly rolled 2 3/4 inch brim, center-creased 4 1/2 inch crown with side dents, and custom leather sweat band. The straw is Stetson 100x quality: gorgeous. We heard that LBJ liked this hat so much because it made him taller and more imposing than he really was. And we topped LBJ by making this hat - a Hartford York exclusive - even fancier than his. Who knows what the Stetson Open Road will do for you. Available in natural.
