Hey Monaville,
Since you’re here, I know you run your own shop (whose website I peruse frequently), what do you know/make of the fact that Stetson now lists the Royal Deluxe and 6X versions of the Open Road at the same MSRP?
https://stetson.com/search?q=open+road&type=product

I know you sell them with about a $20 price difference (which makes complete sense to me).

Have they reduced the quality of the RD? Has the 6X secretly been a better hat than we knew, but shellacked into hard hat oblivion?
I’m curious what your take is as a vendor.

I commented on that earlier.
There is no change as far as I'm concerned.
The dealer price for the Royal is still about 12% higher than the 6X, thus the $20 difference.

Makes sense, and I really appreciate the reply. I just thought it was weird because I thought they previously had a different price point, but I could be wrong.

When I pull the trigger on a caribou RD Open Road, it’ll be from you - gotta support my fellow Texans!

The closest to the Silver Belly that they make is Alabaster.
I ordered three when I ordered the TB but I haven't received them yet.
I also ordered a few Tobacco yesterday.
 
Much easier to get it in the house when it looks like all my other hats.
LOL
So VERY VERY TRUE!!!!!!!

Wondering who is providing 100% beaver felt custom fedoras at/around that price point?
Gannon is listed at $325 currently
Northwest at $375
Hornskov is around $375

there are probably others, this is just off the top of my head.

on subject though, Hatco's tobacco Brown is a nice, rich, tone. It's the felt used on my Fortune and Glory.

Gannon will make you a custom for $325-$350. Were he open, an original Gus Miller from Batsakes is $350. I believe Agnoulita and Hornskov are even less.

Edit: Obviously I wasn't right about Hornskov. Thanks Jared.
