@@historynerdsmancave7567 thank you! Absolutely love what you’re doing! After watching your open road videos over and over, I finally managed to get my 6x felt shipped to the UK. I’m now hunting the hemp in this video in the Uk too. Thank you for taking the time to reply
You’re killing me. I bought both the 10x open road straw and stratoliner hemp after watching your reviews. Now I want this one. Stetson should put you on the payroll.
I keep waiting for those bastards to call me, but they haven't reached out yet. I even noticed they recently put the Stetson Marshall back into production after my video on the hat reached almost 100,000 views. The Open Road Hemp hat is great, and I highly recommend it.
I'm in the same boat. I wear my dads ol Stetson rancher felt all the time. But shes getting kinda worn.out. Its getting close to my B day and a Stetson box type thing showed up on my porch ( fingers crossed) lol
@@historynerdsmancave7567I asked a question on an earlier post, it's about the stetson Marshall hat, did it already come shaped or did you have to have it shaped?
Great video. I have the darker, beige-like colored Hemp Open Road and absolutely love it. Due to the back order I was finally able to get my natural tan Hemp Open Road and the two have become my favorite straw Stetson hats. They really have a great feel.
I have no idea who you are or what this channel is, but I saw history nerd, a Ric Flair pillow, a Hulk pillow, and a pillow that seems to say "Bourbon." WTF is going on here? I love it.
Of all of the thousands of comments that have been posted on the videos on my RUclips channel since it's creation, you, sir, win the award for my absolute favorite. You've successfully encompassed the spirit of this channel. Congratulations on your accomplishment, and many thanks for watching!
Was trying to figure which straw Strat to go with so this was great. Thinking the natural hemp will be worth it. Love your comments on the negative guy-way to be! One thing: the guy you’re thinking of with the too-tall hats, and the pic you edited in, is Pharrell Williams, not Bruno.
Love your videos! Glad to have you back. I like the look of the open road, but the cattlemen crease doesn't fit my head. Nevertheless I like watching your videos. Makes me want to buy a hemp hat now. Haha.
My last video was on the Stetson Stratoliner Hemp straw hat, which has a pinch crease, not a cattlemen's. You might want to check it out. Many thanks for the kind words...and keep watching.
History Nerd, what is your take on vintage felt open roads? recently I brought a vintage 3x Beaver Open road and it looks pretty good felt, it looks like it is from the 1980s.
At some point, Stetson changed its X scale so that anything 4X or below today is wool, not fur felt, but during the 80s, 3X and 4X were still fur felt hats. As I’ve said before, there is no federal regulatory agency governing the X scale for cowboy hats, so each company has its own scale. Thanks for watching, Bubba.
I was invited to speak at a graveside memorial service for singer Hank Williams on his 100th birthday in mid-September last year and wore a fur felt hat. It was hotter than hell, and I sweat clean through my khaki pants and dress shirt. On that day I decided tradition be damned, I'm going to wear whatever hat the weather demands regardless of what the calendar says. Thanks for watching.
I'm really enjoying the hemp Open Road, but with the bound ribbon brim, I wear it mostly with coat and tie. The shantung straw versions are better suited to for casual wear, in my opinion. I'm heading Sand Mountain way next weekend for the June Jam in Fort Payne.
Just got mine. Of course it came without the jbs pin. But good advice on the sizing. I’m 7 3/8 but my hemp stratoliner I had to add sizers. Ordered 7 1/4 open road and it was a bit tight. But I put a stretcher in overnight and it’s perfect.
I lost my JBS pin on 6x silver belly.. called Stetson to order another .. they looked it up and said since had purchased from them in last year sent me another
My original thought was to do those as well as hat unboxings and reviews. One of my hat videos currently has almost 100,000 views...the E.H. Taylor bourbon history and review video that I posted about a year ago had 800 views that last time I looked. The whisky category on RUclips is pretty saturated, but I think I've got the monopoly on Stetson hat videos. Thanks for watching!
I am really digging this hat, Bubba. It's already regularly hit 90-degrees where I live, and on days where I have to wear a suit or coat and tie, this has become my go-to hat. I still wear my shantung straw Open Roads, my palm leaf Stetson fedoras, and my Stetson Rancher hat on days when I'm able to dress down a bit.
By gosh that Open Road in the natural color is a great looking hat. I'm with you on no dope, somehow survived four years in the military in the 60's and 70's with no dope...but I did my best to keep a couple breweries busy.
Funny opening! I was a UPS guy! I’m a hat guy too. Tip for everyone…when I get a new straw hat of any kind, I give it one coat of spray shellac. They stay clean and if they do get a smudge or dusty they clean right up with a damp chamois. This also rain proofs the hat.
I think I said it was "chocolate" in the video, but the one I have is "toast" color, according to Stetson. I do not understand why Stetson can't just use "brown," "tan," "white," etc. because it would make discerning the color so much easier.
Just wanted to drop you a quick note. You've expanded my ideas about hat and given me an idea for my next purchase. It won't be an Open Road but a good one.
Great video. Did I understand you correctly, to say that the felt Open Road can’t be snapped down? I was under the impression that it could snap. But I don’t have one and don’t know, I’m just asking. Thanks.
The brim on the 6X Open Road felt hat is very stiff and cannot be snapped down. The Open Road Royal Deluxe felt hat has a much thinner and flexible brim that can be snapped down...somewhat.
Both the royal deluxe and the pure will snap down, not that I ever ware it that way, I also have a straw 5, that absolutely will not snap down, it warps down all by bumpy and the ugly. Again I just don’t ware an open road down like that.
That's the best straw hat that I've seen you review to date. More natural fiber than shantung. I bought a palm weave fedora based on one of your reviews that I wear up to the races at Saratoga, I like this one too.
Hat looks good on you, it's not exactly my style but it does look good for you. Watching your reviews just made me realize that my Stetson's that I have been wearing since I was old enough to remember, is what caused my prostate cancer. That said, I still wear a hat anytime I leave the house. Keep up the videos. Also, I would watch the history videos.
I'm still not sure why California requires that nutty warning label on a cottonpickin' hat. Hope you've overcome your prostate cancer, pardner. Many thanks for the kind words and the encouragement on the history videos.
My wife similarly asks me how many Stetsons are enough, but she does not understanding that I have an adoring public that craves unboxing and review videos...or at least that's my excuse for buying more hats. Thanks for watching, friend.
For the first time, I beat you to a hat. I purchased the exact same Hemp Open Road about a couple of months ago in the same size and it fits me perfectas well! I’m not a cowboy but now I occasionally play one on the weekends. In fact one day a few weeks ago while wearing this hat at my local hardware store, a complete stranger, who eyeballed me across the store the moment I walked in and then made a beeline straight for me, which kinda unnerved me, walked up to me and asked if I had heard that Toby Keith had died. Being that I’m a Boston, Van Halen, REO Speedwagon kinda guy, I sad, “ Who?” and the jig was up. Love the hat though! And it totally suits you and your suit!
Whenever I wear an Open Road - whether it's felt, straw, or hemp - I always get a compliment or an inquiry of what kind it is. Van Halen is my favorite band, brother, and I caught them in concert in Atlanta in 2012 - though Dave's voice was pretty shot by then. My 11-year-old daughter is into Taylor Swift, so our deal is that if she plays a Taylor Swift song in my car, I get to play a Van Halen song immediately after in order to wash the poison out of my ears.
Always enjoy your videos - "crap ton" - I'm adding that to my vocab :) hat looks great - being on the other side of the pond I wish more men over here wore more of these hats rather than the baseball cap which we seem to have stolen from y'all!
Baseball caps in England, eh? I think most Americans assume all of y'all wear the flat newsboy-style hats and dance and sing through the streets of London like the kids in "Oliver!" or Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins." Many thanks for watching, and I'm glad our particular brand of fun, humor, and information translates well to Europe.
You’re very entertaining and knowledgeable. The hat looks good on you. I like the look of the open road but don’t wear the 2 I have much because they sit too high up
Thanks for the kind words. The most important thing when wearing a hat is that you're comfortable in it, so if you think the Open Road is too high, find an alternative and you be you, Bubba. Keep watching
I have been looking for a review of this hat! I just ordered one myself but before I did I tried to find a good video of this hat and couldn’t find one anywhere. My everyday hat is a felt open road and I live in South Georgia so it’s already too hot for that! I took a chance and ordered one and now after seeing this video today I am super excited for it to arrive. Love the channel! Keep them coming!

I have a few Cowboy hats in Straw. I might have to get this one. Very classy look. Another outstanding episode of the Man Cave History Nerd. Great job!
Many thanks for the kind words. I'm enjoying this Hemp Open Road very much. Y'all be careful wearing your cancer-inducing, reproduction-harming Stetson hats out there in California, Bubba.
😂unfortunately the Cancer warning in these hats is just the tip of the lunacy iceberg that is California. It is an endless menagerie of incompetent clowns, nuts and clueless wonders up in Sacramento.
I'm really disappointed you didn't pull a leg lamp out of that box... Do you know if the hemp is waterproof/resistant like palm straw? Lastly, The Hat Store was founded by the same man that started American Hat Company. It is no longer in the family and I believe is in Bowie, Tx. now. The gentleman in the picture you provided (7:17) is the grandson who, until a few years ago, still owned The Hat Store in Houston. He sold it but has stayed on working there and shaped my hat I bought there a couple of months ago (I live north of Houston). He is a really neat guy. He told me when his immigrant grandfather received his US citizenship papers he named the company American Hat Company. FWIW, sorry so long-winded.
It's a rather lightweight hat, which is why it's great for hot weather, but I've read that much like a Gremlin, getting them wet is not ideal. Thanks for the info on The Hat Store, and, more importantly, thank you for watching.

Looks great. Nice review sir.
Are all the brims on the open road hats ,the same size,any smaller brims
All of the ones I own have the 2-3/4 brim width, Chief.
Roll tide sir!
Are there certain Open Road hats that have shorter/taller crowns?
Currently they are all the same.
A old vintage open road has a much taller crown. The older they are the taller they are.
now that you've had it for a few months, what do you think?
I’m still digging the hat. It’s great for hot summers here, in Alabama. I only wear it with a coat and tie, though.
