Got White?

Sizing is tricky. You don't want to look swallowed up by your hat.

That one will take a bite out of your pocketbook.

but it will be your lifetime chum.

Your head could be swimming in it.

I just got this Selentio Sterling from HTH in Detroit. I was looking for an 'occasional' white hat, so I didn't want to spend a fortune. I was pleasently surprised with the quality and finish on this hat. The lining is one of thenicest aside from a custom I have seen. Nice reeeded sweat, and nice ribbon. Very nice finish on the felt, though it is a little longer hair than I am used to. Over all, a very soft, shapable without steam $100 hat.

 

[hatophile]

Wow, that's a nice-looking hat, azhiker, and white to boot!

 

[azhiker]

Thanks, well, it will only be an occasional hat, though I really love the way it looks, especially with a black, dark shirt/coat combo. I also want to try it with a white linen suit, which I have to buy yet..thanks again!

What are the specs on that one, brim, crown, etc. Is the crown tapered? It's hard to tell from the pic.

Thanks

 

[azhiker]

2 3/8 brim, crown is very square with little taper. 4 1/2 inch crown. 2 inch ribbon. The hat fits like it was custom fit to my head! It was windy yesterday here in Motown, and the brim wavered a little, but hat never felt like it was going to leave. It is shapable without steam, though I pinched it a little closer to my liking and used steam so it will stay.

 

[hatophile]

Very nice!

Selentino probably makes the most styles of fedoras in white or any color for that matter. They also have a lot of long fur and velour hats too. If you want a white fedora I'd check out Themenshatscom. It is Selentino's home site.

My J. Lee white hat. I debate on shortening the brim a bit, but I like the color and style.

 

[Aureliano]

Looks great! I'd shorten it a tad if it were mine.

 

[hatophile]

I got most of the dirt off, but the hat band has some white streaks that I couldn't get out. I'm considering just sending it to Optimo for a clean and brim trim anyway.

Thanks, A.

I like the way it looks, Perry, and I will play devil's advocate by saying that I would keep the brim as is. With more formal duds I think you can carry off the brim with real panache.

 

[hatophile]

Yeah, normally I wouldn't wear it with a T-shirt.
