In the images Google shows from the movie, the brim curls just as much as it does on those from JJ.Yeah, true. I do want a good one.
That second one looks pretty good. I'd prefer the brim not curl up in the back but that's not really a deal breaker. I think I came across that one earlier today but I've looked at so many I lost track of it.

Which brim is the stiffer is impossible to say from images - but I do believe the ones from JJ are quite soft/flexible.
I've held and tried on the Escape
it is a nice soft, light , well made hat... the brim is very flexible ... borderline floppy ... very nice
it is unlined so it breathes nicely as well
Yeah, I'm liking the Escape more and more as I look at it. It's hard to judge from pics, but how do you think the brim size compares to the one in the movie picture? The Escape is 1 3/4" while the Akubra ones are 2 1/2".
Minor detail. Just curious.
Steve Martins brim is definitely not 2 1/2

And you suggested the open crown, right? That just means it hasn't been creased yet?
Of course, going by the JJ size guide I'm smack in between a L and an XL, haha.
L ends at 23.4 and XL begins at 23.8. I'm a 23.6, lol. What are the odds? I've had this problem before.

Thank you for your reply. I agree that there are many vintage fedoras available; but I am having a very hard time finding one in my size (7 5/8).they are literally everywhere
dime a donzen
almost impossible to not find with a simple search of eBay or any reputable hat shop

Thanks again for posting, and please let me know if you know of any for sale!
Best.
You've heard about Ebay? There, you can search by size if you like. Ebay will be your friend! However, 7-5/8 is on the big side for vintages, and are much more rare to find. Not impossible, but NOT quite a dime a dozen as a result of supply and demand.
Good luck on the hunt, and in the meantime I'll look in my old inventory...
