The Open Road Guild
I just received my silver belly Open Road 6X. I'm rather pleased with the texture; it's not quite as stiff as I anticipated, based on some comments I read over in Western, Anyone? The silver belly is quite a nice color, a slight bit more muted than my Skyline cowboy in silver belly. I'm eager... -
Western, anyone?
Taking into consideration the comments here and my original "on the fence" position, I've also got a Royal Deluxe in Sage in the mail. I may keep both the RD and the 6X; I'll give them both a few days of consideration as I think they both have a role in the rotation. Either way, I'm excited to... -
Stetson Open Road/Quality Designation Project
The modern Stetson Open Road 6X looks to be very similar to the 1956 Corral and Gun Barrel. I like both! -
Western, anyone?
Great shots. I love this time of year too. Always nice to transition from straw/palm to felt. -
Western, anyone?
Hahaha- this is probably true. Head protection in case I fall off my "horse." I may periodically hit it with steam to "break it in." I know I'll likely flatten out the brim a few times to achieve the profile I prefer. -

Western, anyone?
I agree that the RD is probably the way to go. I ordered the 6X and will evaluate it as an every day wearer. I can't quite say why I elected to go with the 6X first; I think it's because I like wearing my stiffer cowboy hats but don't always want the larger brim. My Open Road 10X is stiff (for... -
Western, anyone?
I've got the Stetson Open Road 6X in the cart. I'm vacillating between the 6X and Royal Deluxe, which is ridiculous because eventually I'll have both. I love fedoras but my daily inclination leans "western." Is that the answer? I don't baby or abuse my hats and I favor function over form. Do I... -

Where is the Green Machine thread? I couldn't find it using the search feature. * Never mind. Found it. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/the-green-machine.32764/page-32#post-2522688 -

Thanks, Ross. After sage, I'll try to hunt down a Natural. -
The Open Road Guild
Thank you for your response. I am definitely leaning sage now. I know what the silverbelly looks like and I will likely get one of those too. I do want to go the vintage route at some point but I'm not quite sure where to start. My "unique" head size probably means I just have to be ultra... -

For those who have the Open Road (or similar fedora style hat) in Sage, what are your general impressions? I'm back and forth between choosing silverbelly or sage and will probably end up with both eventually. But sage is pretty appealing for me as a 3 season hat. All the images I see of sage... -

Western, anyone?
Thanks to advice here, I called the Stetson outlet and am looking at an Open Road 6X in Silverbelly that is discounted due to some mild discoloration around the crown. From the images I saw, it looks not too different than the regular wear I'd put on a Silverbelly when I handle incorrectly by... -
Western, anyone?
I bet, at prices like that! I'll give them a call today and see what they can track down for me. This is great info- thank you! -
Western, anyone?
SHARP! Great looking! Does the factory pricing apply to online orders too or just in-person? If it does apply to online, do you have a link? -

Western, anyone?
Who is the designer? I'd like to follow her too. The catalog is woefully lacking in substantive information regarding the felt designation. But the images indicate it is soft like the Royal Deluxe. I'm not sure if the 3" brim is enough to entice me away from the OR RD, but it's worth a look. -
Western, anyone?
Does anyone know anything about the Stetson One, Two, Three (Fall 2019 catalog)? I see the brim is 3" but I'm curious how else this hat differs from the Open Road Royal Deluxe. Also, Is the Four Points 6X or 4X? -
Idea: Fedora Lounge Podcast
Yes, I suppose it doesn't need to be associated with the forum, although there are some natural reasons why it could be. And it is about who is willing to undertake the effort. Even a simple podcast still requires some production and planning to make it enjoyable.- Fivesense

To confirm, the natural is more of a moderately darker color than the silverbelly? Are the textures the same? I'm trying to decide between both. -
