RDR Hats: Sinaloa Patrón vs Marlboro vs Open Crown, 4X vs 6X vs 10X, and Real Prices in Dallas
RDR is the felt hat our regional customers ask for by name: the Sinaloa Patrón, the Marlboro and the Open Crown, in black most of all. This guide is what we tell you at the counter at Teres Western Wear: the three RDR shapes we carry and who each one suits, what 4X, 6X and 10X mean on an RDR and what each one costs on our rack, the colors, the sizes, the RDR palm hats for summer, and how we shape your RDR the way you want it, included the day you buy it.
Quick answer: we carry RDR felt hats in three shapes, the Sinaloa Patrón (tall crown, deep center crease, brim curled up at the sides), the Marlboro (cattleman crease, even brim) and the Open Crown (no crease, you choose the shape), in three grades: 4X from $109.99, 6X from $299 and 10X at $399.99. Colors run from black, charcoal and chocolate to pecan, silver belly, silver gray, bone, navy, wine and white. Sizes 6 3/4 to 7 1/2, with 7 5/8 in several 4X styles. RDR palm hats in 20X and 30X run $54.99 to $154.99. Shaping is included when you buy your hat here. Sold in store only, in Dallas.
Who makes RDR hats
RDR Hats is an American western hat brand based in the USA; the name on the label is "RDR, The Rey de Reyes". The 4X felts and the palm hats we carry are made in Mexico. RDR built its following in regional Mexican music, where the Sinaloa Patrón shape became the look of the stage, and today it is the best-selling felt brand on our wall for everyday wear, dances and events.
RDR does not publish a catalog, so everything in this guide comes from the hats we have in stock and the labels inside them. If you are looking for an RDR model we do not list here, call us and we will tell you if we can get it.
The three RDR shapes we carry
With a felt hat the shape, the horma, is not fixed: we shape it by hand with steam at the counter, and it is included the day you buy the hat. RDR felts come from the factory in three base shapes, and most customers keep them close to how they come.
Sinaloa Patrón
The signature RDR shape and the one most people picture when they say "texana". A tall crown with a deep center crease and strong side pinches, and a 4" brim that curls up at the sides and dips at the front. It adds height and suits a round or full face. We carry it in 4X, 6X and 10X, in more colors than any other RDR: black, charcoal, chocolate, pecan, silver belly, silver gray and white. Start with the Sinaloa Patrón 4X black at $109.99, the 6X black at $299.99 or the 10X black at $399.99.
Marlboro
The sober one. Three creases along the top of the crown (the cattleman crease), softer side dents and an even 4" brim with a gentle curl. It is the classic ranch shape, the easiest to wear every day and the one that sits best on a long or narrow face. We carry the Marlboro in 4X at $109.99 in black, silver gray, silver belly, navy blue and wine, and in bone at $119.99.
Open Crown
No crease at all: a smooth, rounded crown and a wide, flat brim (4 3/8" on the 4X, 4 1/4" to 4 1/2" on the 6X). Some customers wear it exactly like that. For everyone else it is the blank canvas: the hat you buy when you want a specific shape built from scratch, a Sinaloa crease, a Marlboro, a Chihuahua, whatever you bring in a photo. It is our best-selling RDR this season. We carry it in 4X at $119.99 in black, charcoal and pecan, and in 6X black at $299.

4X, 6X and 10X: the three RDR grades and their prices
On a felt hat the X tells you the quality of the felt. Within RDR it works as a ladder: each step up is a finer, lighter felt that holds its shape longer and feels softer in the hand. The X does not change the shape; a 4X and a 10X Sinaloa Patrón are the same silhouette.
| Grade | Shapes and colors we carry | Who it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4X | Sinaloa Patrón (black, charcoal, pecan, silver belly, silver gray); Marlboro (black, silver gray, silver belly, navy, wine, bone); Open Crown (black, charcoal, pecan) | The entry point and our best seller. A first texana, a work hat, a second color for the season. | $109.99 to $119.99 |
| 6X | Sinaloa Patrón (black, charcoal, chocolate, pecan, silver belly, silver gray, white); Open Crown (black) | Noticeably softer and lighter. The dress hat for weddings, quinceañeras and dances. | $299 to $359 |
| 10X | Sinaloa Patrón (black, pecan, silver belly, silver gray) | The finest RDR felt we carry. For the customer who wears a texana every weekend and wants it to last. | $399.99 |
Rack prices in November 2026; they can change. The Sinaloa Patrón 6X white is $359.
Two things worth knowing. First, X ratings do not compare across brands: an RDR 4X and a Stetson 4X are different felts at different prices, so compare within RDR and let your hands decide (we explain why in felt vs straw and what the X's mean). Second, for most of our customers the right answer is the 4X: it takes the shape well, it takes the weather, and at $109.99 you can own a black one and a light one for the price of one 6X.
Colors: which RDR to pick for what
- Black: the one that sells the most by far. Goes with everything, dresses up and dresses down, and hides a season of use. If you own one texana, it is black.
- Silver belly, silver gray and bone: the light felts for weddings, quinceañeras, baptisms and summer dances. They show dust sooner, so they tend to be the second hat, not the first.
- White: the stage color, the Sinaloa Patrón 6X in white is the hat you see on the regional stage. For events, not for every day.
- Pecan, chocolate and charcoal: the in-between colors that go with brown boots and belts. Charcoal reads almost black in low light; pecan is the warm one.
- Navy and wine: the Marlboro 4X comes in both. Less common, which is exactly why some customers want them.
Sizes: 6 3/4 to 7 1/2, and 7 5/8 in several styles
RDR felts run 6 3/4 through 7 1/2 (54 to 60 cm) in every model, and we carry 7 5/8 (61 cm) in the Sinaloa Patrón 4X black, the Marlboro 4X black, the Open Crown 4X black and pecan, and the Rodeo 30X palm. The label sewn inside the sweatband shows the size in centimeters and in US sizes.
| Label (cm) | US size | Head measurement |
|---|---|---|
| 54 | 6 3/4 | 21 1/4 in |
| 55 | 6 7/8 | 21 5/8 in |
| 56 | 7 | 22 in |
| 57 | 7 1/8 | 22 3/8 in |
| 58 | 7 1/4 | 22 3/4 in |
| 59 | 7 3/8 | 23 1/8 in |
| 60 | 7 1/2 | 23 1/2 in |
| 61 | 7 5/8 | 23 7/8 in |
Felt gives a little with wear and we can open it a touch with steam, so if you fall between two sizes in a felt, take the smaller one only if it is close; otherwise go up and we add sizing tape. Measure before you come in with our hat size guide.
RDR palm hats for the Dallas summer
From March into October the same customers switch to RDR palm. These come from the factory already shaped (as a rule we do not reshape palm) and the X here describes the weave, not the felt:
- 30X closed weave: the J70 and A150 ($129.99, 4 1/8" to 4 1/4" brim), the EP39 ($119.99, 3 3/4" brim) and the EJ108 ($109.99, 3 1/2" brim).
- 30X vented weave: the C28 with a horsehair hatband ($129.99) and the OF455 ($154.99), open weaves for the hottest months, plus the Rodeo OF395 ($129.99).
- 20X: the EPR300 at $54.99, the most accessible RDR we carry.
How we shape your RDR
Buy an RDR felt here and we shape it any way you want, included the day you buy it: a deeper Sinaloa crease, a lower brim, a Marlboro built from an Open Crown, the shape in a photo you bring. We work it with steam at the counter while you watch in the mirror, and you can change it as many times as you like before you walk out. Cleaning, reshaping on a later visit or a felt bought elsewhere have a fee; ask at the counter. See hat cleaning and shaping, and once it is yours, how to clean a felt cowboy hat.
