This is a narrow ribbon fedora. Brim is 2 1/2" crown measured from brim to pinch is 4". The hat is a little lighter than the pics. I'm still playing with how to get the best photos, and I obviously not there yet. The color in the first couple of pics is pretty true.

No head shot on this one. It too small, I bought it because I have never had my hands on a Nutria. It's an 4/55 though it has a second size tag under the sweat that lists it a 5. Black homburg, about 1 3/4" brim all around and a little less than 4" brim to pinch. Has the Eulan Beyar...
I've been posting on the Brotherhood for a while but I've never posted any of my Borsos. I'll start with this homburg in Rutenio. The brim is 2 1/4" front and back and 2" sides and brim to pinch is 4 1/8". This light grey hat fits me in a 5 1/2/58 but with some Borsalinos I have to go to a 59...

Well done, and I'm glad you got at least a couple that fit.
I know how you feel. I've worn felt on 90 degree days this week because I was tired of waiting for the cool.
Gorgeous color on the Borsolino.
Beautiful hat and the lower crown works for you
