I'm looking for a straw, stingy brim pork pie hat..

[andywhite.net]

My hat size is 7-3/4. I'm having a heck of a time finding hats that fit. If anyone can steer me toward a nice straw pork pie stingy brim hat, I'd sure appreciate it. The stingier the better.

BTW, nice to be here.

Well...the dredded E place has them from time to time. I got my 7 3/8 there. Other than that... Panamabob has a few "porkish" hats on his site as do other vendors lited in the Merchant area here at the lounge.

If it doesn't matter if it's new or vintage, Dobbs makes a nice porkpie called the "Coronado". It's a synthetic straw but is water proof and is really nice looking.

I did a quick web search and found this one here.

Those are nice, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I'd like this type: http://www.thefedorastore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=81680

Just having trouble finding one that'll fit my noggin.

I appreciate the replies, though. Keep 'em coming.

I just noticed that Dobbs only goes up to 7 5/8! Are you sure the extra large won't fit you?

I'm afraid not. I'm big-headed without anything to be big-headed about.

Take a look at Bencraft's Biltmore. Biltmore tends to use something that at least resembles real straw. That's opposed to that plastic stuff (of which I own a couple) that's been used the past couple of years.

I like this one, http://www.bencrafthats.com/product.php?pid=154&subcname=Biltmore , except I'm looking for a narrower brim than 1-7/8.

How about this one?

Akubra Jivemaster is one I like, there is also the jive

I think that Biltmore does make a milan with a smaller brim but in a 7 3/4 it might not be proportioned. The crown might be too high. 1 7/8" is not a big brim.
