    Sadly, my favorite Borsalino cap and I have parted ways

    How about the place on Fillmore? Hat Guys in Oakland has a good cap selection too. I bought my Doria ('by gruppa Borsalino') cap there. Online, check Bencraft, Delmonico, JJ hatters

    What is this hat?

    Well, if I wanted an aged hat, I wouldn't buy one from Fouquet or Foxx. I can't decide what's more ridiculous, the stains that look like engine grease, or the fact that neither seems to understand that the razor sharp creases they put in completely kill any illusion of looking "old."

    What is this hat?

    Yah, Gunner and Fouquet go WAY overboard with the distressing treatments. I get the appeal of having a "worn-in" hat. Heck, I even own a 'relic' guitar that was built new to look old. But nothing about those hats looks realistic. Too much dirt and not applied with finesse. If you look at...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Everything Australian and Hatsdirect.com are the two main sites most loungers seem to frequent. I've heard lots of good things about the former, and have personally had great experience with the latter. EA sometimes has better prices, but may have a lead time.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    The Campdraft is a very similar hat to the Alessandria, and Akubra's quality is generally better than that of a modern Borso. There's also the Stetson Premiere stratoliner.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Paging Besdor...... Try Taupe for a closer match for Depp's hat, AFAIK, the chocolate brown has been pretty consistent in their lineup.

    Borsalino: liner or not

    Unlined hats were not uncommon on American hats. Usually on lighter felts for spring and summer wear.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    ...confounding news considering that there's a video of Graham on the site boasting about how many blocks they have (used to be anyway).

    Any decent fur felt should hold up to rain. All hats will eventually need a reblock. Soaking a hat through to the core is never a great idea, but it takes a lot of rain to do that. I've given up on umbrellas for the most part and just grab a nice beaver hat (or an Akubra!) for rain.

    Justified FX Hat

    They both may have gold piping and the hat may be from Baron's, but those are not pictures of the same liner. In the shot with Olyphant holding it, the liner has some sort of large text horizontally across. I'm presuming it simply says BARON'S with a large, bold B at the left. Whereas the...

    Justified FX Hat

    I've never seen a Baron hat in person, so take this with a big grain of salt; but, I've always heard mixed things about them. IMHO, they have a substantial markup because of their "Hollywood" lineage. The thing that always bothered be about a lot of their "classic reproductions," is that...

    NEW STETSON 2015 Dress catalog

    Speculating on absolutely zero evidence and entirely supposition; but, it's possible that Hatco doesn't know what numbers to produce of the new open crown hats to satisfy demand. Consider that their last try at an open crown hat, the Nostalgia, was pretty much a bomb. IIRC, the number was less...

    Finding "The Hat", Help with.

    6" Crown height and 4" brim covers A LOT of territory. You're probably more into western territory, or one of the crossover styles. You probably won't find an "off the rack" hat to suit your purposes. There are some interesting threads that might help your research: This thread has scans of...
