Stetson Men's Hat

I love this hat, and was surprised that it showed up in a large box, in a hat holder, and three days earlier than it was supposed to. A perfect hat for the Florida summer.

Perfect fit, arrived ahead of projected date, arrived in a generic hat box (no complaint), and was able to easily reshape my brim with steam.I prefer the more modern shape of the even fixed up-turned brim instead of the subtle western brims found only on the sides of the hat.I have read that frequent steaming can prolong straw life and aid in maintaining the desired shape of the hat.The Shantung is definitely a stiff straw hat I prefer this over the soft straw hats found in some Panama hats.This is easily a modern style western hat that can be worn closer in style to a panama or fedora with its fixed crown. You cannot re-shape the crown, but this crown is indicative of the signature Stetson Open Road form.Light hat, but some may still find it hot being un-vented and a lower quality band in the interior.My first western and first Stetson so I am very happy with my first gateway into this brand as well as a blind dive purchasing a hat online with my approximate size.

First off, the hat is great. The fit is good and it's a sharp looking hat.Now, i understand its a $70 hat, and that makes this a great deal for a hat made in the usa, but the care that was given to this hat for shipping is such a disappointment. It came in a sealed plastic bag that's too small for the hat and then it's crammed in a amazon box that's too small as well. The end result.....i opened the box to find the brim in the back of the hat was bent straight up and the front was bent as well. Bummed.I took the hat to our local hat shop (50 mile round trip) and i was nervous they would not be able to reshape it because of the shantung its made from. luckily they hit it with some steam and got it back in to shape. ($5 later)so i guess what I'am saying here is, Where's the stetson hat box?? Where is any hat box?? Come On!

I have 3 other Stetson hats. All in size 7 1/8. Ordered the same size in this hat and it's a perfect fit. Very happy about that. Nice finish on the straw. No cracks or breaks from forming the hat. This version of the open road has slightly upturned sides compared to the front and rear. I feel like the classic fur felt open road is more universally upturned which I personally prefer.. I used some steam from a Jiffy Steamer to work the brim and managed to adjust the brim to my liking in about 30 minutes with some trial and error. Overall very pleased with this hat. I do wish it had 3 hole vents on each side of the hat to let the hot air out more (this hat is solid). Can't say how much this will be an issue this summer since I purchased the hat in January of 2019 at it's really too off season for a straw hat in my area.

The comparative affordability of Stetson's Shantung Open Road hat led me to believe I'd be making sacrifices in quality here, but I'm overjoyed to report that isn't the case, as this is a uniquely inspired, beautifully woven hat with more western evocation than fedora crossover (the sides are more upturned "cowboy style" than the classic Open Road).I specifically thought the Shantung straw would feel cheap, as Shantung is basically a high performance paper woven into a yarn to mimic straw. But it turns out the weave is pristine and uniformed, and the shape itself has a lot of attractive rigidity. Shantung finally makes sense to me, and it's ideal summer hat material.This is a top-shelf straw hat by any definition -- distinctive but still classically-styled -- and an elite value at this low price point. (Was this "Helpful"? Cheers!)

This hat was sent in a very small box, completely smashed horrible packaging and the quality was certainly not worth the price

6X Straw open Road for just under $100 is a no-brainer. I’ve worn it nearly every day for three months and I have not been easy on it. I’m a service, plumber and stuff gets wild. Sometimes it washes clean, retains its shape. It’s really the perfect every day hat
