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.

Recently ran into the problem of over-humidification in my humidor. Here's how I am remedying the situation. @proofofmanliness

My first review (kind of) of a cigar... the Perla Del Mar. This is a Nicaraguan maduro cigar made in the same place as Brickhouse and El Baton... definitely worth a smoke! @proofofmanliness

This channel is about pipe smoking, cigars, whiskey, and other manly things! Be on the lookout for reviews, tastings, how-to's, and even some tips and tricks!
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?
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.
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
Agreed, dude is a -> 🤡
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.
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.
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
Looks nice , just because of that I’m getting the deluxe
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
Yea I got out of the industry though. Should have stuck with it but oh well.
I own both and personally prefer the 6x but the 10x straw version is my favorite open road.
Nice Open Road, brother
I own A 6X open road and for royal deluxe open roads.
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.
They’ll ship to Europe
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.
Love the Open Road Stetson hats. I went out and bought me 2 Stetsons, one in the Carabu 6x and one in the Royal Deluxe Sage Green, there great !!!!
The Open Road is a Western Hat. Not a cowboy hat.
Relax
@@waterhead1359 maybe so, wasn’t spun up really. I live in the Texas panhandle where cowboys are everywhere. Not likely you will see those guys wearing one. I love mine. Thanks
Nice video. Just so you know, you will eff up your hat if you keep grabbing and handling it like that. Hold it from the brim not the crown my friend.
Thanks for the tip
Aye, I seen someone grab a $1300 montecristi by the crown. It felt like I was watching someone dangle their newborn out a 5 story window.
Not true! I have $1500-2500 hats and all the makers say to hold and handle by the crown, not the brim.
Get an Akubra , you can’t go wrong
Can’t go wrong with this one either. Both make fine hats.
Back in the day, Akubra used to make 'the Open Road' hats under licence for Stetson for the Down Under market. Today, their 'Campdraft' is the equivalent of the 'Open Road.'
@@LowPlainsDrifter60 I bought the camp draft
I have the softer one and I love it.
This is a clinic on how not to handle a $250 hat. Unless you want your greasy fingerprints all over your beautiful hat...only handle it by the edges. Comfortability...ha ha. Trivia...Royal Deluxe is better quality felt than the six x.
This is a working man’s hat, not a fashion accessory. It’s meant to be worn, outside, in the sun, rain, snow, dust. You don’t have to baby it.
WE THE PEOPLE . I like the royal deluxe better, good comparison
6x is “western felt” whereas the Royal Deluxe is the same type of felt used in dressier hats like the Whippet , Stratoliner, etc.
Looking forward to some more Bourbon videos!
