    Stetson Temple and Sultey?

    The crown on the Stetson is 4 1/4 inches. I know because I just ordered one from Adam at Qualityhats.com and I asked him for that information because I personally do not like very high crowns. I don't know about the Temple.

    What do you think of the Indiana Jones hats?

    It looks great... but all Adventurebilt hats cost $350.00 + $10.00 shipping and that is way out of my price range right now. I just dished over $250.00 for a Borsalino Bellagio so I suppose $100 more for a handmade, Beaver fur felt hat is a good deal, but still...I'd have to start selling...

    What do you think of the Indiana Jones hats?

    I happen to like some of the styles of the official fur felt Indian Jones hats. They look like great hats for daily wear, but what is the quality of these hats? I wonder how they compare to the comparable styles made by Akubra. Thanks to everyone for this informative forum.

    Best place to buy a Borsalino Como?

    Borsalino Bellagio - Love it!!! After doing some online research and finding that the Borsalino Bellagio is sold only by very few vendors and at a price much higher than my local hatter's, I returned to DelMonico's Hatter in New Haven and bought one. I opted for the gray one. It is soft and...

    Akubra Dress Hat??

    Thanks for the info and advice. Does the Stylemaster run true to size? I take a 7 1/4 (58cm) hat but in a Borsalino I take a 59cm. Before I order a Stylemaster I want to be sure they fit true to size. Any thoughts about this?

    Side by side comparisons- Firenze vs Dexter

    Returned the Stetson Dexter today...now I'm hatless! I tried on the Borsalino Bellagio in gray and I liked it even more than the Como, but I held off buying it until I can check out Internet prices. But it is definitely on my list and if a lower price does not materialize soon, (lower than...

    Best place to buy a Borsalino Como?

    Borsalino Bellagio is the one! I stopped by a local hatter today and tried on the Borsalino Bellagio in gray and wow! What a hat! It fit and felt perfect...but I did not buy it...yet. I am waiting to see if I can find it for less somewhere else. This vendor wanted $265.00 which apparently is a...

    Best place to buy a Borsalino Como?

    I've been doing lots of research and I love this hat, but it tends to run about $250 - $265 - more than I'd like to spend right now. I found two other online vendors who carry it, but are these vendors reputable? I want to be sure the Como they're selling is the real deal because they have the...

    Akubra Dress Hat??

    CEO has a very high crown, no? I like the style of the CEO but one web page describes it as having a 5.5in. high crown. I am returning my Stetson Dexter because the crown is too high for me - 4.75in. - so the CEO is not an option. The Stockman looks nice too. Thanks for the reply.

    Akubra Dress Hat??

    Does anyone where an Akubra as a dress hat? I like their styles, especially the Banjo Paterson, and Stylemaster. Would anyone wear the Banjo Paterson for dress, though? Love that Barramundi band!

    Side by side comparisons- Firenze vs Dexter

    Akubra Stylemaster I've been looking at the Akubra Stylemaster too. They are very reasonably priced but you have to figure on another $20.00+ for shipping. My only concern with buying a hat from Australia is if it does not fit properly. I'd hate to have to ship it back Down Under! Those...

    Side by side comparisons- Firenze vs Dexter

    How about the Stetson Sutley or another model? The Stetson Sutley's crown is about 4 1/4 inches versus the 4 3/4 on the Dexter. Suede finish on the Dexter also. I am open to other suggestions, though. Miller Hats has a great looking "Baldwin Dress Hat" (Style 142)...

    Side by side comparisons- Firenze vs Dexter

    Thanks guys - points well taken The more I look at the Dexter, the less I like its styling. After trying on about 15 different hats today, they all started to look the same. Now that I have the Dexter home, I think the top is too high and broad for my tastes. Here is a photo I found that shows...

    Side by side comparisons- Firenze vs Dexter

    Stetson Dexter or Borsalino Como - or both? Hello Everyone! I am new to the forum and new to the world of hats. I never thought I looked very good in one so steered clear of anything except a winter cap. Well, I am 58 years old now and decided to bite the bullet once and for all. I live in...
