Reach out to a bartender (site administrator). Curious what the answer is myself.

I wonder how best it is to do that ?

The few times I’ve done it I waited until I saw someone at the bottom of the page under Staff Online now and sent them a PM. Often just by using the word “Bartender“ in a post one will read what you have to say.

.

I would say that the short answer is Yes. A tiny bit longer answer is that a lot of guys will refer to hats that have the same brim/crown dimensions and ribbon type as an open road clone... at least that is what I've gathered in my time lurking and being a member here

What kind of fedoras are you looking for? New? Vintage? Custom? Ebay probably sells more vintage hats that all other sources combined. If your budget will allow it, customs are a great way to go. Are there certain brands you’re interested in? Be warned, once you experience good vintage felt you’ll be hooked.

Have you tried eBay?

The vintage hats on eBay are mostly from the 60's.

You seem pretty set on that specific shape though, so getting a custom might be worth the effort.

Yea I would be down to get a vintage but it’s hard to find my hat size since I wear XL which is like 7/58 and custom I could try too but I don’t really know how it works to get it custom

pick a hatter and send them that picture. It's kind of hard because that's not a real hat,but you probably want something with a 2 1/4" - 2 3/8" brim.

A custom is a lot easier than you think. You decide on a budget and then choose a hatter you like based on the work that is showcased here. Send the hatter a photo of the hat you and and your head size (they’ll walk you through all of this) and in a few weeks or months the hat is delivered. It sounds daunting, but the good hatters will guide you through everything.

Vintage hats in 7 5/8 are not easy to find, but they are out there (it’s my size too). My favorite ebay seller hat this in your size right now:

in case you missed it, I’m the seller.

There are lots of good hatters. Check out Gannon and Northwest to start with. Both of them only have 3 (ish) month waits. Cheaper and faster, but of lower quality, there’s Agnoulita on Etsy.
