Your enthusiasm and natural radiance make your videos so fun to watch, in addition to the information you give! 😊 You have a great smile. The bobblehead demonstration had me rolling. 😂 It's been 2 years since you acquired the beaver hats. I hope they fit better now.

Always love watching your videos!! You have a way of making them not only informative but fun to watch 🤠

Yes you did! Keep us updated please.Thanks for sharing. I have been eyeballing the true blue myself.

I wasn't sure if I wanted that style, even though I liked the True Blue in pictures, but after seeing it in a video, I'm sold. That color is amazing. The electric blue is a bit much for me to pull off, and the navy is dark enough that I'd actually prefer black. The new one though, really hits a sweet spot for me.

Man.. I am glad I came across your channel. I have been following Kevin from JJ hat center to get more info about the open road hats. But you offer much more than hats... Thank you for sharing your opinion on these products brother.. Peace ✌🏼

The man has style! Killer color there bro! Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Amazing hat. A beautiful collection of Stetson hats.

Bro the open roads are friggin sharpp!!

That Beaver hat looks really great on you. Love my Open Road!

Great reviews!! I can’t stop laughing, around the 8:50 mark is hilarious...

Is that Mario Van Peebles lil brother??!! Sure got strong resemblance. Got myself a Stetson open road 6x. Caribou color. Thanks for sharing your videos to help make a choice on my first dress hat. Love the fit,style,color and its power... public reacts to you as a gentleman. My next Stetson will be the Yancy in the phantom grey.. Blue Skeleton

The regular Strat; including the “Pure” one with beaver, are 4.5” tall, but the Premier is 5.5”, I have the Premier (rabbit hair) but it fits soooo nice, it actually fits secure, but none other works, open road, gun club, they are all too shallow.

How do I shape my brim like that... mine has too much of a fold on the sides... I want that upward tilt all the way around

How differently is it taking water compared to 6x?

I would invest in a stetson strew open road. Very comfortable during the summer. and it goes well with anything. I love that Blue color tho!

Enjoyed the Video,my wife also liked the video,the first thing she said the hat is to small,he needs to go to the next size In the open rd,and add a spacer if needed,and to be honest I was thinking the same thing,I really joined your take on the hat,love the blue beaver In the open rd.Thanks

The true blue looks like a dark indigo. Great looking hat! Amazon has a great deal on 6X silverbelly currently. Got one for $140!

On the strat' fold the sweatband out and pull on the liner until it releases, pull up in the hat, its held in with a lil glue. Don't take it out just leave it in loose like that then fold the band back in and put the hat on. This should relax the liner in the hat.

I love the hats ❤️

Doesn’t the Pure Beaver Open Road have an adjustable sweatband? May help with your wobble.

Love the denim pearl snap

The White Hatband looks nice against the dark Blue. The One from JJ's is a Velor True Blue and is a nicer Hat then the other Hats.

Dude.. I have 5 Stratiners. Now I had to order this True Blue Beaver today . Just got notification that it's back in stock so pulled the trigger

Beautiful hats, I'm a hat freak I have 17 stetsons but I'm in the process of getting my first open road , the pure open road is it more Beaver Fur?? I know the regular one is 6x , I have 30 x and 100x in all colors El patron 30x it feels like the 100 x El presidente but there $400 dollars difference, thank you for your time.

I dig the navy you got!

That navy open road with the white band is the nicest looking hat I've ever seen!

Great looking hat!🙏🏻

Thank you for the video! considering all the colors of hats you own, which color do you wear the most on a daily basis, the easiest to combine with any outfit?

You can re-block the wobbly hat to give a bit more spage height-wise in the crown (Kevin from J.J. hats demonstrated how to in one of his recent-ish videos, but I am not sure which one). Having said that, this new one is absolutely my favourite from the ones in this video!

Great hat collection 👌

true blue is the best color out of the three

That is a slick hat!

Great video! I want one but I’m not sure I’d wear it often enough. Not supposed to wear a hat indoors? I’m always indoors. Restaurants, store, office, home, movie theater etc…. So I wear it as I walk to the door?

i have the same extact problem with the pure beavers, i got one in the white and everysingle time i go out it falls out my head, only hat thats ever done that, still havent fixed it so i dont wear it often i might try leaving it in the sun for the band to shrink a tad for a tighter fit

Plus ,,,,I’ll admit that I’ve gotten some good fashion tips from you

These hats are just for fun; I had an actual vintage hat box made for a Stetson my father purchased in "48" Eventually my father passed away but we kept the box and hat for another 30 years! My hipster nephew found it in the garage and claimed for his own. My father's box went to pieces much to my regret and had to be discarded. Those cardboard boxes should serve you long after you've moved into the retirement home.

i have a custom navy beaver fedora with a silver striated silver ribbon. I love it.

I Love that you love hats. you can buy all the hats that I can’t.

I don't see Stetson Pinnacles (called:metropolitain at JJ) in your collection.. is a killer..pure beaver it's a MUST...

I can get away with 6& 7/8's but I feel more comfortable with a size 7. The 7 sits a little more flush.

you probably have some of the hats loose because you have a round head and you're trying on oval shaped hats. I have the same problem, there are these special tapes that you can buy to fix that. It goes behind the sweatband either on it or on the side of the hat.

please wear that navy open road more often, it looks phenomenal, especially with the white band

Have you checked out the stetson royal deluxe 1865 distressed???

Is the True Blue the same as “Navy” or “Blue” on distributors websites offering the Open Road Royal Deluxe Hat?

Where can you order one? Having problems getting Stetson's. J&J isn't selling them crushable or beaver?

Nice!!

You probably should go by JJ hat center let them steam the hat for you and make it more of a long oval or steam it and then put it on your head and let it conform to your head better just an FYI the liner will come out without having to cut a hole in it just lift up the sweatband and you can pull it out The liner is just glued in

What color open road 6x for my first purchase and regular wear

I will subscribe when you get a Stetson Temple 🙂 I really wanna know how it looks (brim up ofc) 🙂

,,,I just purchased the Albaster Pure Open Road.

The blue is nice...

Enjoyed Thanks

I like the caribou but unfortunately that isn’t an option in the True Stratoliner. I wonder is the blue hard to coordinate. My gray hat went with everything. Sadly it was stolen recently.

Today we have hand gel and I strongly encourage everyone to use it before touching a hat; The oil naturally present in your hands destroys the brim and acts as a permanent marker! I'm reluctant to advocate for spray treatments made by 3m. What are your thoughts?

How many Stetsons do you have in your collection? You could do a video on them all.

Maybe you need 7 1/8. Even if I wear my open road half cocked instead of properly it doesn't flop around like that

I think that silk thing just pulls out

CJ, I’m trying to buy my first Stetson. Probably an Open Road. I learned about the Pure editions that are 100% Beaver for a lot more money compared to the Deluxe. You have two Pures. What so you think? Are they worth the extra price?

I just got a new gun club that came in a cool box 📦

I wear an Open Road in Silverbelly and really like that design. I'm not much on "non-traditional colored" hats, like burgundy, blue, funky green (sage is fine), and so on. I like the white, tan, chocolate and gray. I'm a fuddy-dud, what can I say. BUT... THAT is a beautiful blue Open Road!!! I'd be proud to wear that lid! I even like your navy hat. The cattleman's crown makes a lot of difference, but the hat from J&J is a no-go. Wrong color blue and wrong shape. It looks like a classless pimp's hat. 😂

Ok CJ, you lost me on the cowboy boot craze and Red Wing hiatus, but I'm back for the cool hats :)

Is that a permenant middle crease in the Pure Beaver or can it be shaped like an old skool gangster fedora with a Tear drop? Any one know? Angel from The Bay

🎩💖

Lol, as an advid hat lover, in hindsight I don't know why I didn't tell you, you can steam the hat to loosen the felt and mold it to your head circumference

You need to get some hat spacers that fit under the sweat band. It will fix that issue.

Nice

you do know you can pad the sweatband a little bit to tighten it. and if it’s a small increment all the way around it’s less likely to buckle.

Basically everything on the Stetson website is out of stock. I understand that COVID has affected manufacturing but come on, I think there may be other issues...

Get some hat foam! A little will slightly tighten up the hat and it won't fly off your head.

Dammm it... why did I find your channel... the numbers in my bank account are going to decrease.

That Pure Open Road is nice! I hate to say, but on camera it looks like your hats are possibly sized to small? I agree they should not fly off your head..

How do you walk??😂😂😂

Bruh!

If you put the hat down with the crown up (or brim down)....all the luck will run out of the hat.

I've got to get an open road.

Hey man, thanks for the videos. It's interesting to see your shared interests from red wings to now stetsons hats. My opinion is that you are wearing the open road incorrectly, and it looks like it's not your size. The hat is not supposed to compress your skull and the crown is supposed to fall on the top of your head allowing just a finger over your ears. Also, western hats are a lifestyle that serve a purpose and not to match outfits colors. Bad advice to say they need to match belt, boots etc.. I also don't think you got a box this time bc Stetson watched your previous vid, sometimes they ship hats without the hat box specially if you purchased from an authorized dealer (they hang the hats for display and discard boxes). Price dictates the box - El Presidnte hat comes with a plastic case that retails for $80. Sorry man but you've gotta a little more experience to learn when it comes to western hats. But if you like hats that don't fit your head.... we all have our preferences. Cheers.

Probably getting the wrong size

the hat just needs to be broken in brother, like boots

I take you're rockin a Strat on your head?

Dark brown boots will work with a navy hat, black and blue are not as good of a match.

The wobbly hat is too small perhaps Try 7 1/8

That is why you don’t buy a hat by mail!!!! You have to go to the store and try on the hat and see what happens when you wiggle your head around to find out if it’s to loose on your head

Please, please stop grabbing your hats by the crown.

Unless you paid about $5000 for that hat it is NOT pure beaver. A 6x is about 15 percent beaver.

Too much wasted dialogue. Get to the comparison. I wanted to learn about 100% beaver, but I had to listen about boxes and laughing. I still did not learn about beaver.
