tommyK - Whoa! That Alessandria is too much. I may have to take a run over to 13th Ave on Sunday to check one out. What does the crown measure when open?

It's a full 6 inches. Brim is 2 5/8. Similar dimensions to my vintage Stratoliner. The vintage Strat is nicer but it's hard to round them up in exactly the color you want when you're a 7 1/2 like me. This'll do in a pinch.

How is the felt quality compared to modern Stetsons?

It's thinner and denser and takes a crease better than the new Stetson's. More like my vintage hats. It is not pounced as well, though. If you could get the Stetson finish and sweatband on a Borsalino felt you'd have something.

Thanks for the details.
...and I should only be so lucky to wear a 7 1/2. Not going to repeat my size again, too much laughing going on behind the scene every time I do.

I'm not a big fan of straw hat and the SunBody are usefull only in presence of hot and wind otherwise they are a little bit too heavy.

It was falcon park yesterday. We'll see what today brings. There were some real nice lookers yesterday!

Adding a stylized shot that makes the black cherry look positively purple.
