Viktor - the color itself was not my favorite. I just never wore it. I've had one each of Glen Grey, Silverbelly, and Taupe Fawn, and Silverbelly just suits me better. Just personal preference. Frank
I've only had this a few months, and never worn it out of the house. I wanted to see what the new Open Roads were like, and it did not disappoint. Only problem for me is that I'm way too extra long oval for modern Stetsons, and they don't make this one in 7 7/8. No stains, no damage, no funky...

Auction on eBay canceled. It'll cost you a little for shipping, but you're definitely getting an upgrade hatwise and in rarity. Glad to help, nothing worse than waiting for a hat that doesn't fit. Frank
Jeff - if you want to avoid all of that, I'd be willing to exchange it for the other Stetson 6X I had listed here, the Alan Jackson model. It's in brand new condition, and I've got it listed on eBay, but no bidders yet. Let me know, you'd have to pay for the shipping, but it would certainly be...
