Hi, I've been intending to post here again, but kept forgetting. I went with a silverbelly lightweight, same dimensions as my oxblood dressweight (2.5" brim, 6 " crown), and it's an amazing hat! There is a startlingly HUGE difference in the thickness of the felt. The feel is much different. I wouldn't say I like one better than the other, but I can certainly see why the lightweight is so popular. It just feels like it required for effort, if that makes sense.
