I have Blueish Borsalino 61cm, 7 5/8 I'm putting in the classified, in your price range.

UPDATE: Going with a Stetson Temple from HatCo outlet, in Caribou Gray. The Akubra is very tempting, an absolutely definite possibility for 2nd hat which I'm sure will happen at some point ... and I agree with cardelo's assessment, in that I'm leery of ordering from Australia until I actual have some experience dealing with a fur felt hat, would rather not have to deal with a return all the way to the Southern Hemisphere. And I've seen the stuff here about issues with Temple and rain, although it's very doubtful that I will wear this hat in the elements. Bottom line though is the bottom line ... cannot let it get away at the price they quoted me.
I'm curious how did you get a hold of the outlet store?
Back in the '90s I started my hat-wearing with the Stetson Temple. Still have two in colors they no longer offer, a reddish-brown called "Nougat" and a pale gray called "Silver Mist." The Nougat in particular is soft and comfortable and has never lost its shape (though I've never tested it as I would an Akubra). Good choice, especially at the outlet price!
