Brand new never worn Akubra Stylemaster in Carbon Gray. Fur felt as you all know. Size 58 or 7 1/4. I bought this as a gift for a client who estimated his hat size and was wrong. It's a great hat as you all know.
$115 shipped CONUS or trade for a brand new Size 59.
picked up two new hats recently. a positively rich Art Fawcett in a tan featherweight fur felt - 2" brim on this. got it used and it's a real keeper. then i got a Hopsie Hats beaver fur felt in silverbelly - 2.75" brim. thinking of selling this as i'm not quite sure it's for me. feel free...
great hat. if you feel it's too big for you, hit me up, i will take it off your hands. i purchased the other VS the seller had to offer (will post here once the repair is done) and it fits me perfectly. yeah, art makes a great hat, definitely on par with my Optimo.
New 100% beaver silverbelly teardrop bash fedora made by Aimee Koch of Hopsie Hats in size 7 3/4. Brim = 2 3/4", crown height = 4 1/2". I just received this custom order from Aimee and while I quite like it, the felt is just a little too substantial for the hot Los Angeles weather. Paid $220...
yeah, my Optimo has a lot of stiffener in it. the brim initially became very soft and i couldn't get it to lay down in front. so i sprayed some Bick stiffener to it and now it lays perfectly. that being said, i like the hat firm and well blocked. no complaints here.
terrific hat, mike. i might be in the market soon for a squishy milan and will hit you up for advice again. been getting a lot of use out of my Optimo milan with the warm CA weather, but the Optimo ain't squishy.
looking to add to my collection and am interested in excellent to good condition fedoras in fur felt or straw size 7 3/4 or 62. if they're blocked long oval that's even better. ideal colors are tans, browns, greys, and blues. feel free to pm me any thoughts. thanks.
here are my two new hats. An Optimo Milan Straw Teardrop Fedora and a Stetson Benchley in beaver fur felt. Brim on the Optimo is 2.5" where the Stetson is 2". Crown is a little taller on the Optimo. Liking both hats but think the Optimo might be a better shape for me. Opinions welcome.
