Worth it

I own two Stetson Open Roads… this is the standard in my opinion. I had an event recently that needed a darker color than I have and didn’t feel right pulling the $ for another Open Road. This hat was exactly what one would hope for in this case… it’s a solid second place to the Open Road which is like a silver medal in the Olympics. lol. Love the quality from hat self to packaging… very sturdy and well fitted.

Hat was too small

It's too big. I was going to exchange it when I get back from Florida next Tuesday. Very nicely made though.

Looks well made. Not nearly as distressed as pictured. Runs a bit large.

Great hat

The hat arrived today (fast shipping!) and I am very happy with it. Like a couple of other people mentioned, I was looking for something similar to the Stetson Open Road style hat without but without the 300 dollar price tag. This hat looks great and is well made. It does run a tad big but I added some hat reducers on the inside under the band and now it fits nicely. Looks sharp. Distressed, but not overly done. Very pleased. Would purchase again. *Feather not included*

Hat was cool and well made, would have loved it but didn't fit my face and head right. Might need a big beard to offset my bowlingball head shape. Wanted to love this style.

What is hat size recommendation?

  • To ensure the perfect fit, we recommend following our size guide and measuring your head circumference firstly.  
  • If your head measures between M-57cm ( 57.1cm-58.0cm ), L-59cm ( 58.1cm-60.0cm ) and XL-61cm ( 60.1cm-61.0cm ) we suggest opting for the smaller size for a snug and comfortable fit. 
  • It's important to note that our stiff hats often experience a break-in stage like wearing new shoes then wool felt may become slightly loose.

Why choose a hat with high stiffness?

The degree of stiffening in a fedora hat is a crucial determinant in achieving both a desired look and functionality. A hat brim with a higher level of stiffening provides a firm structure, preserving the integrity of the brim's shape, ensuring that the hat retains its intended shape and design over an extended period.

How can I soften the stiff hat?

We understand that the stiff feel might be a new experience, similar to breaking in a new pair of shoes. To help you achieve the perfect fit and comfort, we recommend the following break-in process: 
  1. Use a handheld steamer with medium heat.  
  2. Steam the hat crown for 10-12 seconds.  
  3. Immediately wear the hat for 1 hour.  
  4. Repeat this process once a week, 2-3 times per month.   
This break-in routine will gradually soften the hat crown, allowing it to mold to the shape of your head for a more personalized and comfortable fit

How can I straighten a bent hat brim?

1. Steam the Hat: 
  • Take an iron and steam the hat. (Note: Do not apply the iron directly to the felt of the hat.) 
  • Steam the hat with a distance of around 5-10cm. 
2. Protect the Brim: 
  • Place a thin wet cotton fabric between the brim and the iron. 
  • Iron gently all around the brim. 
3. Reshape the Hat: 
  • Use your hands to gently reshape the hat, focusing on the areas with creases. 
  • Allow the hat to air dry in a cool, dry place with hat holder.
