Source of James Spader's hats {The Blacklist}
I honestly don't think Stetson offers a hat with that high a weave count. That looks like an Optimo. And if you thought Penman was expensive, don't even visit the Optimo site. Re: Akubra, something tells me that the same guy who wants John Penman to put a Borso logo on one of his customs is not... -

Look, let's just do this: Just buy the Anello if you want a Borsalino, because it looks like you can't get exactly what was supplied to the show. The Fortissimo was a limited edition to JJ, and Bencraft special ordered the Borsos they supplied. Besdor is the owner of Bencraft, if you were... -

1) Check Besdor's posts in this thread 2) Mr. Penman likely had little regard for the specific model name. -

I doubt Mr. Penman has an intimate familiarity with the current Borso catalogue, nor the time to identify the hat you're seeking. It's possible the model shown on screen may not be in production any longer and the model from Bencraft might be the closest thing you can get. It's also possible... -

Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)
Oh, so now you're taking it upon yourself to hijack a thread I started in 2011 for your own purposes? I lost money, too. I consoled myself by buying a different hat. Try that. -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
P.S. To this, I was in New Orleans a few weeks ago, and Sam Meyer, the third generation owner, is still working in the store. They might not be able to provide much info, but it's probably worth a phone call just to be sure. The store seems like the kind of place that just might have 60 year... -

Modern Borsos aren't as good as vintage ones. Just spend some time here to do a little research. They still make good hats. But, Optimo makes great hats. Mr. Penman makes an outstanding hat. As does Art Fawcett, Bob Jessee, Alley Kat, and many other custom makers. The attention to detail is... -

Stetson Stratoliner Premier Open Crown
Point of order, any fedora style hat falls into the "soft felt" delineation in the grand scheme of things (in opposition to a "stiff felt" hat like a derby or bowler). As far as "softness," goes I think there are two things which sometimes get conflated. There's the actual tactile feel of the... -

Well, invest in a hat from Art Fawcett and you'll have the option to buy a custom band block, shaped to your head. Perhaps not the most practical advice, but it will work for all your hats. -

It's in the Spring 2018 catalogue. Maybe the factory is switching back to felt production? -

Looking for hat information?
Two points: I'm gonna dissent and say that's a 2" ribbon. Brim I'd put between 2 1/4 and 2 1/2, probably closer to the former than the latter. I also would contend that the old "rules" of matching crown shape and height are really more of a general suggestion than a decree from the fashion police.
