Also, what is the crown height, brim width and do you know who made the felt?.

The hat is designed to be similar specifications of a Borsalino Classico. Brim width is approximately 2 3/8" and I measure approx 4.5" crown height from brim to top (not the inside of the center crease) in the front of the hat. If I measure from brim to top of hat on side (highest point) it is approx 5". The fur is all beaver / mink with no rabbit; should be mostly beaver with just "a touch of mink"; I understand that the hatmaker Roche also is the felt maker. There is a ton of additional info on the youtube videos if you care to listen through them.

I was after the Coles notes on the hat. I can't listen to Kev for more than 20 seconds at a time. I love the hat but 2 3/8" is too narrow for me. Good luck with the sale.

I have a Winchester beaver/mink blend and the hatter that made it for me said that Winchester would not divulge the content mix. He sarcastically said that perhaps a mink walked through the factory floor the day they were felting so they decided to call it a mink/beaver blend.
