If I hadn't just committed myself to a VS, that one would have been mine last night :D
Seriously though, congrats on the score. Looking forward to seeing the results!
I'm the in the queue for one, but didn't bother to ask the price. It'll vary based on the final specs (weave count on the crown) and felt choice.
going with black Milan for mine....I think :cool:
By the by, word on the street (aka Matt Deckard's Instagram) is that Hatco will be discontinuing the open crown hats in the coming fall 2019 line.
I may have to snag a sage Strat or Royal dlx OR before they disappear.
I heard about that documentary too, but didn't get a chance to see it. California is also experiencing a resurgence in nutria that aren't supposed to be here...
Back bow fedora, probably from around the 60's.
Cury is believed to have been the source for the felt used in the original Herbert Johnson hat used in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Hornskov offers this "cherry blossom" felt which looks like has a bit of a pink undertone, but closest in shade to some to the hats on the previous page.

I don't know how common they were as far as vintage hats. I personally haven't seen any examples. My perception of their popularity in the modern day is tied to the Dillinger hat from Public Enemies. That's definitely when it landed on my radar.
Historically there were several different lightweight felts from the various manufacturers: feather weight, zephyr weight, etc. The Stetson Playboy is famously marketed as a lightweight felt as well.
As far as modern production hats, your selections are more limited. I don't think Akubra...
You know, I've often pondered about how many hats we count as "silverbelly" for lack of a better identifier. Old (black and white) Stetson ads talk about shades like Belgian beaver, light belly, sand, light sand....
JJ is still showing some sizes and colors in stock:
