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.
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...
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.
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...
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?
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...
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...
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...
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.
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!
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...
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)...
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...
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...
