Well. . . .
Even though everybody dumps on Borsalino, I ordered their grey Allesandro packable from Village Hats.
Here's the thing: Akubra's Casual is nice, but Akubra can be a pain, because the best outlets are halfway around the world, and shipping is a fortune, and can take a really long time, and the outlets here in the States are lightly stocked.
Village Hats, on the other hand, accepts returns and provides refunds if you aren't happy. And that is a service for which I am willing to pay.
We'll see. If it's not suitable, I'll return it and buy the Christy's "foldaway" from Hornet Hats in the UK.
