Need a new summer porkpie

[Bingles]

Does anyone know of any places to find good stingy brimmed (UNDER 2 inch) summer porkpies? I have one in black from Biltmore.. but can't seem to find any good quality ones on other porkpie styles or colors. [huh]

The major hat sites (with few exceptions) seem to carry the same hats year after year and rarely update their inventory listings. sigh.

Did you say under 2 in.?

Man, my ears are getting sunburned already!

They have a good selection, but it seems like practically every item on their website is on back order for 4 to 6 weeks.

I kind of like this diamond pork pie model from Hats in the Belfry.

Hey Bings, why not search the bay to find a decent milan, and just crease it yourself.

Do a search here, Gary (GWD) has a good post somewhere on how he does his, he does a great job.

a brixton perhaps?

A mate who's a jazz n' blues muso recently bought a nice little Brixton straw porkpie that look pretty good.

More a fashion hat than anything else but certainly goes with his look
[huh]

I have my eye on a Dobbs Bishop from Hats Plus. It might be something to look at, although the brim is 2 1/8.

Perhaps a little fftopic: but allmost every cap/hat I like is on back-order at Dad's Hats, to me that's a little off-putting. Does anyone know what the turnaround-time on a general backorder is at Dad's?

Thanks everyone!!!!

I have a Bailey 'Collins' straw porkpie that is a great little hat. I paid about $40 new for it a couple of years ago, but it's coming up as $83 when I do web searches now:
