I'm looking for a "semi-smart" felt hat to wear shooting. I appreciate a brimmed hat, and besides just don't look good in the usual tweed flat cap. Something along the lines of the Akubra Lawson, Banjo Paterson or Coober Pedy. I tend to suit lower crowns and broader brims as a rule.
I currently have a Barmah 'roo (too casual) and a Stetson Rancher in 6x beaver - a fine hat but I'll never wear it to a shoot here in the UK (at least not one I want to be invited back to)!
I'm a size 7 7/8 or 8, depending on the hat, and can't find anywhere online selling them in that size.
I work in London, but Lock is unfortunatly overpriced (although I like the look of their Chepstow) and Bates... I'm unsure about the quality of some of their hats. Perhaps some one can put me at ease regarding this.
I'm open to any relevent suggestions regarding model of hat and where to source it. Thanks.
