Moon, you're in Jersey so you might want to do a Saturday road trip up to DelMonico's in New Haven and visit Jeff. Top notch people and service there as well.
I'd like to order from EverythingAustralian but I'm putting my house on the market. It would be my luck it sells right away and the new owner gets my hats in 3 months.
They're fine. I always deal with Rod Springer at JJ. He's an older fellow, been in the business forever and can shoot the breeze like no other. Their prices are high but that has a lot to do with keeping a brick and mortar store in the middle of NYC. Between my wife and I we've bought more than...
You picked a remarkably bad choice to make your point. I too have modern and vintage Borsalinos.
I find the differences to be stark and many. Most importantly the felt is both thinner, denser and more finely pounced. The stitching on the ribbon is virtually inviseable and there is an hidden...

if you haven't tried a silverbelly or other light colored felt hat, You might want to give that a spin before writing off felts all together.
Last summer I experimented with wearing a silverbelly Akubra Camp Draft and an Open Road (often with the liners out). Turns out I don't sweat any more in...
Looking great Java. I like seeing the Indy hat with non-Indy atire.
And the Bluegrass green Camp Draft-I think you've convinced me I've got to get one. Hope I don't have to wait 3 months, they're out of size60.
VMT, looks great. I'd guess 50's. There is a Dobbs guide but I can't locate it at the moment. As to price, size is key. A 7 1/2 is worth a lot more than a 7.
