Introduced in 1937, the Open Road was originally sold with an open crown, allowing customers to crease it to their personal liking. Since 1948, it has been finished with the traditional, hand-pressed cattleman crease that has defined the model for generations. From artists and outlaws to U.S. Presidents—most notably Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ)—the Open Road has been the preferred choice for modern pioneers and trailblazers.
The Open Road 6X is distinguished by its firmness, a result of the high-quality fur felt blend that provides a superior "snap" and shape retention. Each hat features a grosgrain hat band and a unique branding-iron hat pin bearing the initials “JBS”, a tribute to founder John B. Stetson. Whether you are looking for a piece of American history or a versatile everyday headwear option, the Open Road 6X remains a high-quality cornerstone of the Stetson legacy.
Care & Maintenance
To preserve the felt’s luster and shape, brush it periodically in a counter-clockwise motion with a soft hat brush. If the hat gets wet, shake off excess water and let it air dry naturally by resting it upside down on its crown to protect the brim. Always store your Stetson in its original hat box to shield it from dust and direct sunlight.
