Shoot them a note at customerservice@rmwilliams.com.au regarding sizes. We corresponded several times before I pulled the trigger, and their service was excellent.
You're correct, the AM bash and brim treatment is lame. LAME! It's so lame that I shipped it to Colin at JJ Hat Center and asked him to mirror the AM to a stock CD. He's a stud, so the fix probably took all of 5 minutes.
While I'm nowhere near ambitious enough to actually weigh a hat, I see no...

RM's customer service was EXCELLENT — both responsive and informative. The shipping fee was less excellent, however.

Santa came early this year: my Akubra Campdraft in mid-brown (via RM Williams) showed up today. It was just returned to me by Colin at JJ Hat Center, who re-bashed the stock lid into a teardrop (if only hats could accumulate frequent flyer miles). On to the cell phone pics...
This thing is a...

Will consider trades for a Stetson Racine, Stratoliner, Open Road, or Akubra Campdraft.

I'm a sucker for teardrops: anyone ever seen a Como bashed this way? I'd love to see pics.
Mine isn't seeing much action lately, and it's sad watching such a beautiful lid go idle.

Gustin has a wild business model, so you have to be patient. That being said, I have a trucker jacket from them that I absolutely ADORE. Quality matches Filson and the like, but for half the price.

I have a CD in Taupe Fawn (fantastic lid, but not the mid-brown color I desperately seek), and a Borsalino Como in mid-brown. Both are GREAT lids. Problem is, I prefer wide brim hats, so the Como doesn't see much action. I will say that the Akubra is classy yet bulletproof, while the Como just...
Thanks, Jared.
It was suggested on another thread that an Akubra Campdraft would get closer than a modern Alessandria. Can anyone vouch for that, at least until I find a vintage Borsa that fits the bill?
I'm on the market for a Borsalino Alessandria, mid-brown color, in size 7 1/4. Feel free to forward images and prices if you're looking to sell.

I placed an order for my first Alessandria, and it arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, it was disappointing.
My order was for the "Brown" model, but it arrived as a dark, dark chocolate color — it actually looks black in most lighting. When I called for an explanation, the retailer explained...
