Where in the Continental US ?

[sedaterman]

Fairly new to the "Fedora Lounge". I hope you guys can help.
Where in the continental United States can I find an Akubra turin.
I am looking for a nice casual short brim hat and after some research I keep going back to the turin. However, the shipping cost is making it tough to justify.

Any similair suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks.

Oh yes... a 58cm size.

Akubra price

If you find it in the US, the shipping cost will be built in. After all, the retailer has to ship it too. You'll find that US distributors like David Morgan sell Akubras for significantly more than Austrailian sellers, but once you factor in shipping costs, the total cost is pretty close to the same, unless the hat is on sale.

Good point, however I would think most retailers would ship in bulk, making it somewhat less expensive.

Another option

You might consider this Borsalino Nomad with 2.25" brim:

Noggintops is discontinuing it, so it's marked down from 150 to 100, and if you use the code 20OFF that will bring it down to 80 bucks, a steal for a Borso. Might not be your color choice or your size, though. That Akubra Turin looks almost like an Alpine hat to me, though, so maybe the Nomad isn't close enough to what you want.

Thanks for the tip. I decided to go with the Casual instead. Placed my order today.

The Turin went for around $90 with about $65 for shipping.
The Casual cost me $111 including shipping from within the U.S.
I can't seem to find the Turin available anywhere here in the U.S.
