    Who can name the hats in this picture? I'll roll the dice on a couple Open Roads, but what about the others? Pardon me if anyone has already posted this somewhere.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm not in the habit of quoting myself, but as I'm waiting for my Royal Deluxe Open Road to arrive tomorrow, I had the occasion to actually handle and try one on today. My nearest hat store/hatter is 3 hours away but I had other business in that area, includng needing some work on one of my 6X...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm waiting for a Stetson Royal Deluxe Open Road from One 2 Mini Ranch. Why does one week seem so long when you are waiting excitedly for a new lid?! :D (One 2 Mini shipped expeditiously- I'm just impatient for the OR!)

    Hi Tim- thank you for your response. I assume your suggestions apply to 7-3/8 as well? Or should I be looking for a 7-5/8 for some reason? (I'm a 7-3/8)

    When traveling to the Golden State, anything made of hemp is a good bet.

    Also, a colleague of mine is a pretty well known (in the public eye) proponent of the Open Road. He suggests I also consider the Open Road in straw. He said it's not that easy to find, but I'm wondering if he means the 10X version, or some other version about which I'm not aware.

    I'm a 7 3/8/59cm hat size, which I've learned here is a pretty common, yet more difficult to come by size on Vintage hats.

    I know there are a lot of Open Road posts here (even a Guild) but I am not quite sure how to navigate all the info- so I'm asking here. I see an Open Road Royal, which I think is a softer version of the traditional Open Road 6X. From what I've read about Stetson fedoras, the Royal is a lower...

    Grades of Stetson dress hats/felt?

    In my "new to fedora" understanding, they might as well just go with "Pinnacle" or "Beaver."

    Grades of Stetson dress hats/felt?

    Thank you. My Chatham is a Royal Deluxe and I wonder if the Stetson-made Imperial is comparable. I suppose I can also reach out directly to HITB to see if they will be forthcoming with the quality. Considering they are charging $229 for the "limited run" hats (I'm sure many here got the same...

    Grades of Stetson dress hats/felt?

    Hopefully someone here can offer some constructive suggestions. I’d even be grateful if they simply answered my question.

    Grades of Stetson dress hats/felt?

    I’m looking at some Stetson made hats from Hats in the Belfry that claim “Imperial.” Is that related to the felt itself or the finish materials?

    Sounds perfect! I do often cook with wine- some of it even goes into the dish!

    I like Orvis hats too (I just wore an Orvis straw fedora today in these unseasonably warm temps!). I also had an Orvis wool felt that I sold a couple years ago- it was quite handsome and comfortable.

    Thanks for the response. I actually thought I was posting in the “Ask a question” thread. I admit to being a little confused by the flow of this forum. It is quite a bit different than any other Internet forum I’ve used, which makes the search function challenging. Thank you for the link...

    Does anyone know anything about the Belfry Expedition? It looks comparable to the Stetson Bozeman. I'm looking for a crushable wool hat to wear in the snow, in and out of the car, etc... that I don't have to worry about. This one from Hats in the Belfry is on sale for a pretty good price.
