That's a good deal on the Temple. I've never seen one with that brim treatment or those dimensions. Not the regular Temple for sure. I get aggravated by the S,M,L option also.

Given the price and my current need, I ordered the Italy made fedora in both navy and plum.

I am crossing my fingers that XL is big enough for my size 7 5/8 dome and that the crown is not too low nor the brim stingy. :eusa_doh:

With BB's return policy, the worst case scenario is I lose the $10 in shipping costs.

I will report when they arrive.

I actually saw both the soft "tonal ribbon" unlined one and the stetson a couple of days ago here in NYC. I loved the "tonal". Beautiful feeling, very soft perfect for rolling. Very light too. The Stetson temple, was stiff. Not just, stiff but STIFF!

If you're going that route, hit the ACL shop.

Tonal deaf

Thanks for this info. I love the color and look of that hat.

 

[Aureliano]

Your're welcome.

I don't think that's the Temple. It appears to be the Windham, which I own. If I'm right, it's a nicer hat than the Temple - dressier and softer with a luxurious finish. The nicest Stetson I've seen in a while!

got the navy...

I received the navy tonal fedora via FedEx today. While the website states and the hat is tagged XL, underneath the sweatband I found a "61" tag. Unfortunately, it is does not fit like a true 61- too tight on my 7 5/8 noggin. I suspect a 7 3/8 would find it a perfect fit. I managed to stretch it to fit with steam and a hat jack without much effort but the narrow brim (~2 1/4) is deal breaker. I want a navy fedora with at least a 2 1/2 inch brim.

On the other hand, I have the plum version arriving soon and that one I will likely keep because the color is too rare an animal (off the shelf) to pass up. Hopefully, this one will be a truer 61.
