MY LAST PAIR OF ARIAT WAS $269.00 ,,,, HEEL IS SUSPECT ,,TO BE DETERMINED,,,YOU MEAN 3/4 WELT,,,AS FAR AS RESOLE

LOWERING THE HEEL ON A COWBOY BOOT IS MORE COMFORTABLE ,TONY LAMA WIDE SQUARE TOE IS A BETTER MADE BOOT,IVE HAD THEM ALL YOU NAME UM. DOUBLE H IS A GOOD BOO TOO. IVE OWNED 3 PAIR OF ARIAT,,MY GO TO ARE MY DOUBLE H OR CHIPPEWA.

My 6X is soft and has brown leather sweatband ...but is not the Royal deluxe

6x is 100% rabbit fur. The difference is the density (weight) of the fur/body. Dress weight are less dense and use less fur. It makes them thinner and softer, and also makes it cheaper to add beaver to.

I have that same hat. I also have a couple 6x Open roads. I like the Deluxe better. It’s a softer hat and feels lighter. It just seems to fit better. Great review!

Very helpful… thanks for sharing!

are they black or gray color?

I got the 6x it is a tad bit tight but i think it will break in over time

Fuck fuck duck. Just my shot glass spilled some water into the humidor. Fuuuuuuck. Rey del mundo choix suprem: soaked. HDM EPICURE 2: soaked… btw it read 80% so yeah Fuck, any tips? HEEEEELOP

Thx for the info I needed. Royal Deluxe for me.

I’m looking to purchase an open road, and I’m leaning toward the royal deluxe. But I want to wear it with the brim down, like a fedora. Do you know if that’s possible with the royal deluxe? Thanks!

Bought my 1st stetson in 6x caribou open road just like the ones you have. Deluxe is a bit more on price, to where the 6x is stiffer is a work hat/dress. I went with the 6x because it will age to become flexible and hold that great look.. must say it continues after buying just one stetson.. ended up buying the Yancy(phantom Grey) the Los Alamos (straw) the Markham fedora (crushable wool,black) and most likely will buy more. The whippet and stratoliner for casual dress on my dates with the wife and family. Awesome set of hats for all the seasons!

The 6x holds its shape longer, but takes longer to brake in. It’s also slightly more expensive, and was told it has little more beaver fur, which why it repels rain better.

So what is the purpose of this video? One long sh*t talking rambling is a good way to get you lots of 👎

Great review sir! Thank you!

What would you recommend for me I'm between a 7-7/18

I think the Akubra Campdraft is better. It's the exact same dimensions, nicer felt and less stiff than the cardboard feel of the thin 6x. Also comes open crown, usually in stock and half the price.

Very well said Sir.

Good explanation!

What do they look like with the brim down

Just remove the driver's headrest.

Hello there you dont need to dry box in and out your cigars within the Humidor just make sure that they are not sitting at the humidity that it is soo high that it would start to cause mould. Now if the humidity is higher and it affects smoking before you smoke cigar just take it out of humidor 1 hour before smoking and leave it outside somewhere it will smoke just fine and as for the rest of the cigars well higher humidity perfect for aging so its win win as long as it is not some sort of mould humidity.

Great video. Just bought my first Open Road, a 6X Silverbelly. Love the Caribou color. I wish insaw this video first because i feel that the Royal Deluxe may be the way to go for me.

I can’t tell if you’re calling it the “world deluxe “ or “royal deluxe”? I know it’s called the “Royal Deluxe” because that’s the hat I bought.

You have the best comparison vid on "6x, vs royal deluxe" that I have found. I want to buy one. 30 yrs ago, I regularly wore cowboy hats. I wish to get back in that style, however, more nights out, than working today. My dilemma, like yours between 7 and 7 1/8, Iam a 7 3/8 or 7 1/2. I wish to wear up, or down but prefer a hardier hat. Will the 6x snap up or down if the 7.5 is on the bigger side? Or should I 7 3/8 a royal drluxe?

yooo! so here’s a story :) this happened yesterday and today! i work for a concert venue in Houston, Tx and an artist named Stephen Sanchez performed an outdoor show yesterday. Sold Out show! it rained and it was cold, but that didn’t stop Stephen Sanchez from wearing a snazzy cowboy while he performed, and he bought it specifically because he was performing in Tx. today i had to back to work to clean up and set up for a private event. and well, i found the hat’s box. it had the plastic and the foam. it was a a black Stetson Open Road Royal Deluxe size 7. it looked soooo amazing, so i had to find out! and well, i’m here now :) but i can’t afford it. thank you still! just in case i “treat yo’ self” one day 🤙🏼 yeehaw

Those eyes lol I have my cigars in a glass container with lock & lock lid and have the container half submerged in a very cold water. That keeps the temp inside the jar around 72 to 73 degrees in my mid 80 degree apartment. Still a little higher than optimal but better than an mid 80s container with humidity. I also put ice packs in the water to keep it cool for longer and just replace the packs every few hours. More work than just living in a cooler apartment but I kinda enjoy the chore of checking the temp in the jar, changing water and the ice packs for my cigars and so on. It's theraputic imo.

Just came across your channel. Awesome video bud, hope you keep it up.

Sharp hat bro! Thx for the info.

Oval R is ""Round Oval" rather than Oval L which is "Long Oval". Long Oval is a longer oval shape, compared to the rounder oval shape. Traditional cowboy hats are available in both.

Put some salt in a teabag and put it in your humidor. Sucks the moisture out of them in no time.

What color is are the hats?

99.9% of video about hats, the content creators, had they first watched the video themselves and see how they look, I seriously doubt they would upload it.

You are right on the money! I have both

What kind of hat is that and where can I get one there nice 👍

Great video. Thanks

Great vid!

Great videos. Thank you for the information

Hola amigo! - sabes cuanto puede costar un royal deluxe y donde lo puedo adquirir desde méxico?... saludos!

You need to show the boot more than yourself. Half of the time the boot is outside the screen

I like this hat! Does it come in other Colors?

You helped me decide which hat to get , it’s my first open road hat I’ve been wearing stetson Cowboy hats for the past 28 years due to a band I play in , but I have decided to get the deluxe a more relaxed feel and my head is between a 7 and a 6 7/8 so I think it will work out better not to mention that I like the leather band better than the black band.

Best video review, on these two hats

The Stetson Open Road is so stylish because it's short, concise and neat. It has a very sharp, clean look, as opposed to the big, wavy cowboy hats which I think are too sprawled out and messy looking. A good, classic "Trooper hat" like a Stetson Open Road makes for a very handsome, clean-cut look.

Great video. I have the 6x and love it. But I have yet to try in the Royal deluxe. I definitely prefer the brown leather on the interior

OR Royal Deluxe is the BOMB. I have one in navy and one in walnut.

It’s a crossover not a cowboy hat, the crown is the cowboy part

Wait a second, didn’t you use to make videos about EDC and guns? I swear I remember watching you like 5 or 6 years ago

I own both and personally prefer the 6x but the 10x straw version is my favorite open road.

Nice Open Road, brother
