There's a Fibralon hat in a size 60 on ebay.de that keeps popping up in my searches - I don't know whether German hatters were more inventive than elsewhere. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Perfect for a carnival Joao :) --- Linney (Tonak) today - nice felt, but the crown was too low and had way too much side taper with the original centre-dent - I've reshaped it into a diamond (front/back taper I don't mind as much) , and kept tweaking it to the point that I'm happy enough as an... -

Alan & Perry - the wall is part of a tower on Canterbury's City Wall - Medieval, restored a fair bit over the years :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canterbury_city_walls It's handy in that I can rest the camera in one arrow slit to take a photo of the opposite side ;) Thanks for all the... -

new hat and storage question
Christys are a long established UK firm, and as well as producing hats under their own name also make bowlers (and probably other hats) for the old UK hat sellers of Lock & Co and Bates. Their hats are decent, but do try and avoid getting them wet - in my experience the felt is a little prone to... -

Slightly flamboyant for work today, but it got me through a boring Monday ;) German made 50's? Stetson Whippet: -
Akubra Overload
Good luck with the interview results. My preference for ribbon over leather probably stems from being English - the leather looks good, just no something I'd feel comfortable wearing over here. I can see it looking good with a 1" ribbon or skinnier. -
