Need a new hat

[Iyor]

My sister is getting married in a couple of months so I'm getting a new hat for the occasion. Unfortunately I don't have time to order one from Art like I normally would, so I'm going the RTW route. I've narrowed it down to either the Borsalino Film from Bencraft, or a Guerra "Treviso" from Miller hats. I really like he shape of the crown on the Borsalino, but I'm thinking maybe the open crown Treviso would let me get the uneven pinches look I love on my Art hat. Has anyone compared the Guerra/miller hats and Borsalino?

Better yet are there any custom makers on the board that can make a hat in under 2 months?

I needed a hat for a wedding and I called up Optimo just to see if they had any thing in stock in my size, and surprisingly they did. Granted, it's all luck if they have your size, a color you like, and with a ribbon you like, but they do have some hats in stock. It's pricier, but I ended up getting a black longhair pinched homburg that went very nicely with my suit. Tiffani emailed me pictures so I could see the hat before I bought it and it all went quite well. I wish I could say something about the Borsalino or the Guerra but I've never bought one, sorry. Good luck with the hunt.
