I am looking for shorter than a two inch brim.

Thank you for your reply. I agree that there are many vintage fedoras available; but I am having a very hard time finding one in my size (7 5/8).
Thanks again for posting, and please let me know if you know of any for sale!
Best.
Hello,
I posted here a few month ago, regarding my quest for a 7 5/8 fedora with a short brim- Not a trilby, but a short brimmed fedora similar to the one being worn by comedian Shelley Berman in the photo below.
So far, my search has been exceedingly difficult. I have decided to post here...
Thanks for the photos- I like them both!

Yes, that is very similar to what I am looking for! Thank you very much!
However, I might add that I would much prefer a fedora with a non adjustable brim (always down); Is there a technical name for that in hat jargon? I own a vintage fedora that is exactly what I am seeking (but is 7 1/2)...
Hello,
I am new to the forum, but thought this would be an appropriate place to ask my question.
I am a vintage fedora enthusiast, but am having difficulty finding a new fedora in the style that I seek. The main obstacle I have been facing is that my size 7 5/8, seems to be quite difficult to...
