Stetson Mens Royal Deluxe Open Road

This hat has become a classic for good reason. Looks good on just about everybody. Women look great in it. It's a standard among more formal Bluegrass bands. This Royal Deluxe version is Stetson's more "affordable" version. It's probably all wool, and it's thinner and lighter than the the 6x version, which is a blend of wool and fur. The latter is more robust, has a better finish, and is more durable. It's more desireable if you're going to use this hat for work and rugged outdoor use. In other words, you are a real cowboy. But the only people on the street who will notice a difference will be hat fanatics. This version, however, is more versatile than the original because you can snap the brim down in the front to give it more of a western look if you wish. Make sure you read the how-to-fit description. You want wear the hat so the brim almost touches your ears. Wearing a too-small hat perched on top of your head is a stylistic no-no and brands you as a naive wannabe.

I wasn’t sure if it was my style or not. Been hung up on ordering one versus a traditional quality cowboy hat for 2 years. It’s definitely an investment. All I can say is, do it. The hat is classic, stylish and Stetson quality. Packaging was in a nice Stetson box, and the hat is fabulous. My next addition will be the Open Road in straw for spring / summer. 5 stars!

Beautiful hat! Other sources only had two choices for color, black and silver belly. Sage was my choice and it’s perfect. I did order one size too large as a precaution and it’s perfect for me!

Great fit on 2nd try. Top quality.

I genuinely love this hat. I don't know if anything more needs to be said. Stetson has been around for a long time and I find that these are still being well made. Fit was great, its easy to style, and pretty comfortable to wear

Love this hat. Shipped in original packaging, was clear the seller handled with care. There was a slight delay with Amazon but it only set back the delivery a half day. Product was exactly as advertised and the fit was reflective of the accurate size guide. When in doubt, order size up. It’s lighter than I expected which helps with warm weather but it retains its shape despite an airy, comfortable feel. Color is true black and you won’t find a better option than a Stetson.

Awesome! Classic style; soft fedora feel. Very gentlemanly hat.

This hat is well, it sits a little higher on my head then I'm used to. It came with a coffee stain on the inside liner and stetson is unreachable.

Stetson is the best in the west !! LOVE this hat !!
