Small Cowboy Hats
Hello all-
I've been looking for cowboy hats with small brims and a lower crown, but I can't figure out what they're called. I'm including some links to photographs that show what I'm talking about. They seem to be prevalent, but I haven't been able to find them online or at two different western wear stores.

What your looking for is called a Open Road or LBJ. I just finished making a really nice Open Road with a traditional 4 inch cattleman's crease and a 2 1/2 inch brim. If you Message me I can help you with it.

When I am attending certain events, especially driving events, I like to wear my Derby. It truly is a proper gentleman's hat, as worn by dignitaries such as Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. I look more like Hardy. Another classic hat is the Top Hat as worn by Clint Eastwood in the movie 'Pale Rider'.... Next time you have the opportunity to watch 'Man From Snowy River' take note of the variety of hats worn by the Aussies.
The custom of 'Going Topless for men' actually started with Pres. John F. (Jack) Kennedy. He had such a thick mop of hair wearing a hat was a problem FOR HIM.

In reply to Matt's search for a short brim Hat, the style was known as the "Open Road" with the classic rancher creased crown. Any ranch wear store that has a hatter to block and style hats should be able to cut the brim to size: The Short brim style hat worn by the likes of many celebrities and cowboy's. Cajun musician Amadé Ardoin wore the stylish hat long before it became famous and renamed after President Johnson often called the "LBJ Hat".
President Truman and Eisenhower also are known to wear the similar stylish fedora which comes ready to wear through Sheplers made by Stetson called the "Open Road". Stetson 4X Fur Felt Cowboy Hat. This Stetson features 2 3/4" bound edge hat brim and slightly rolled center crease hat crown. http://www.sheplers.com/stetson-4x-open-road-fur-felt-cowboy-hat.html
* A great American tradition Stetson cowboy hat
* Classic rancher look that never goes out of style
* Choose a genuine fur felt hat for better quality & long-wearing durability
* Grosgrain ribbon hat band with Stetson hat tack
* Proudly crafted in the U.S.A.

Roger, thanks for the response! Very impressive that you know who Amedé Ardoin was. Two of the pictures I included were of Bois-Sec Ardoin, who I believe was Amedé's nephew. These hats seem to have been very popular among us Cajuns, but I haven't seen anyone wearing them. Here are a few more to describe what I'm talking about -
