Stetson Open Road 6X vs. Royal Deluxe
Переглядів 28 тис.Рік тому
When I was looking into getting a Stetson I came across a conundrum, and that was what is the difference between the 6X and the Royal Deluxe. I did a little research beforehand but nothing is better than hands on experience. So I have both the 6X and the Royal Deluxe, and I am going to explain the differences that I notice.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    • @Marwarluigi
      @Marwarluigi 5 місяців тому

      The regular open road is very stiff, and it would be difficult to shape without steaming it. The royal deluxe you can shape the brim, but lose the rigidity of the regular deluxe.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      I bought the open road in caribou Grey, then the Los Alamos straw for summers, the Yancy Gamblers flat brim in phantom Grey, then last a wool fedora, the Markham in jet black. Got my head covered for all seasons now and have that stetson confidence they say happens when underneath one.. live now in west state Colorado and all hats worn with the country flare in our state.

    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.

    Yeah all great but Stetson is it so hard to get these hats to Stetson Europe. Well I guess yea. Since there are literally none of these hats available. Wish I could get an open road. Next time I’m in America lol buy one for sure. Once they let un jabbed tourists in.

    I actually think that boot is all cemented and those stitches are just aesthetical. Maybe this boot is for people looking to try boots just to see if they can pull off the style without breaking the bank. Ofcourse that is just my opinion and I am not a boot expert. But they are good looking boots. Take care.
