Question about a certain style of fedora, please help!

[Invergado]

Hello,
Recently I have been looking for a certain style of Fedora with a smaller width of a brim (perhaps around 1.5"). Something that looks similar to the one worn in this picture:

I have been searching for quite some time now, but most of the ones I have found aren't quite like this. If anyone knows what style this is, what company makes it or where I can get one I would appreciate it immensely. Thank-you.

The hat looks very 1960's, like a blues brothers hat. you should be able to find that style through Stetson, Dobb's,

Thank-you very much. That is a great help. The brim seems to be a bit wide though compared to the one in the picture I believe. If anyone knows of any that have a bit slimmer brim and if they could post it, I would be very greatful.
Thanks again!!

The Village Hat Shop, located in San Diego, has a website, and there is a hat there that I think is pretty close to what you displayed.

it is called Sinatra -- Rude Boy. Let's see if I can bring it up:

The Sinatra fedoras had very small brims and the Rude Boy, worn by some rappers, I believe, have about the smallest brims I have seen.

Get on Ebay

You will find tons of these hats on Ebay. Most buyers are looking for the Indiana Jones sized, or 30-40's hats , which have wider brims and taller crowns. The one you show was very popular in the 60's. Like Frank Sinatra wore. They are referred to as "stingy brims".

Thank-you everyone so much!! That is exactly what I am looking for.
Thanks again for being such a great help.

I just drove to San Diego yesterday and picked up the Sinatra - Rude Boy Fedora from the Village Hat shop and its perfect! Thanks again to everyone, I wouldnt have otherwise been able to find it.

Glad you were able to get that hat! You must not live that far from San Diego.

I have a number of hats from Village Hat Shop, myself and refer people there quite a bit.

Will you be able to post photos for us to see?

Wow, you really look great in that hat! Is that a girlfriend in the photo with you? Cute couple.

Wish I could wear some of those shorter brims, but you gotta have the face for it -- and you do.

Thanks for sharing photos!
