where to buy this hat...

[Aureliano]

I would like to buy this Guerra roller (see link below) but can't find it anywhere. Their site does not seem to have the option for purchasing.
Anybody there who knows where to get it?

I wish I could help you. I checked out Miller Hats because their Italian Fedoras are made by Guerra.
I also went to the source:

I did not see your Roller hat there, either. Hmm... Where did you find it listed?

 

[Aureliano]

I found it on their website, on the link I posted on my first thread (click on it below). Check it out, such a beautiful hat. I checked with worth & worth hats here in NYC--their hats are made by guerra as well-- but they didn't have it either. I sent the guerra website an email, let's see what happens.

I don't know what your price range is but if you have no luck with them take a look at Bencraft Hats as they have a nice rollable Borsalino. I bought one and like it very well.

Here's an option to weigh in the meantime. Good luck!

which one from Bencraft, the Allegro? does it keep the shape after rolling it?
My issue is that I don't like leather bands...

Try this. They should be able to let you know how to get one

 

[Aureliano]

Thanks. I emailed the 2 weeks ago, a couple of times. No answer yet.

BTW, these are available from Hornets Hats dot com for about $75 USD & shipping.

Yes, Hornethats is the place to pick up Christy's. My Marlborough was $94 shipped. The Foldaway looks surprisingly similar to the Roller you linked to:

BTW, if you order an Akubra from EA, you can specify a cloth sweatband in the hat when you order it - I'm pretty sure you can get any Akubra that way, you just have to wait the 3 months +/- for your custom lid.

As Hornets has said they will custom detail orders I have been wanting to order a foldaway w/ a 1" higher crown & a 1/2" wider brim because I find the "off the shelf" proportions rather small on me and this configuration would lend itself to a greater variety of crease/brim combinations.

I'm going with the folding one from hornets. Thanks for the suggestion. It looks awesome!

Sounds good - what color are you taking? Also, Hornets will change ribbon size, add a brim binding, etc. FYI my order took 16 days to arrive, but Hornets mailed it after only 6 days and it lagged in the shipping. You may get yours faster.

Classifieds

Might be too late, but depending on your size, I have one in the classifieds that might work. Cheaper than getting it shipped from UK.

I have the Allegro and it has a cloth sweatband in it. Everytime I have rolled mine it has come back just fine. You can get it with or without the liner. For rolling purposes I would recommend not getting the liner.

 

[Aureliano]

I want the gray one. But 16 days is a lot of time. I'm going to travel soon. I sent them an email asking about shipping methods. Maybe they offer something faster...
