Stetson mens Royal Deluxe Open Road

This Royal Deluxe version is such a soft and supple hat without the STIFF CARDBOARD feel of regular felt open road. Also, Stetson hats tend to run a little LARGER than Resistol or Larry Mahan felt hats. I wear a 7 3/8 in a Mahan (milano) and Resistol felt or beaver blend hats and a 7 1/4 in a Stetson.

I usually buy direct from Stetson directly but decided to buy through Amazon for faster shipping. I have several of these in different colors. This is a classic style. Wear brim up cowboy style like LBJ of Truman of flipped down Fedora style. A timeless classic. Mine was flawless and true to size.

Fit is perfect and the color is perfect as it goes with every!

Fit is great (7 3/4 on my about 23” head). Can wear it all day and it doesn’t ever feel too tight, but I can ride a bike and it doesn’t blow off mainly because of the leather interior band which kind of sticks the hat to your forehead. I do have just about an inch and a half of fitting tape on the inside to shape the hat to my weird head a little better. It feels like there’s a little room for the hat to shrink just a bit, which I’m told is normal for hats to do as they age. See how that goes in the future.I thought I ordered ‘grey’ but the box is labeled ‘caribou’. Looks like a dark grey, so no problem. The hat normally looks darker grey (like what’s shown in my second pic), but occasionally under some lighting conditions it looks like a lighter grey (like my first pic).As far as cons: I guess I would say the dark grey ‘caribou’ isn’t super versatile. It looks really good with some things, and other things it doesn’t quite work as well.I’m not a huge fan of the cheap grey band it comes with. A ‘cognac’ leather (like what’s on the inside of the hat) would look so much better against the grey, in my opinion. So I’m trying to find a hat band the right size and color.For some people spending this much on a hat would be a big con. You kinda get what you pay for and I would say the hat feels and looks like what you’re paying for it.

Love this hat. Great fit for my oversized melon. Great fit and finish. A great buy for the price … though it is a little spendy if you’re not a hat person.

This is a fantastic hat. Unfortunately for me, it do not fit my head shape. The size seems to be true to size. The hat design sits too high above ears for my preference.

My friends in Texas all appear wearing this hat in photos they send me. Although I live in DC I decided to go ahead and buy one. The hat arrived and it is beautiful. I ordered my hat size but it was a little big; that was easily solved by adding a little paper into the internal hat band. I am super happy with my purchase.

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

This is my 9th STETSON purchase. I have never been disappointed and every hat has exceeded my expectations, nothing but quality.

Consistent quality Open Road hat by Stetson. Hard to find in Canada except here from this seller.
