Which fedora???

[Sparafucile]

Greetings all,

I'm new here, but not to hats. I want to buy a new everyday hat, and I'm looking at three fedoras: I wear a C-Crown (teardrop, preferably tapered, not too high), just under a 2 1/2 brim, grey, and around a hundred bucks.

The three are: the Stefeno Executive the Stefeno Executive; the Jaxon Bogart; and the Scala Venice.

Of course, I'm open to suggestions of any other hat that I may have missed.

Many thanks in advance for your advice!

Ooops, I just realized that I left out my question: "What are your opinions of these brands?" I've only owned a Scala, and I thought it was a good value, but I didn't like the S-M-L sizing - I don't know anything about the reputation of the Stefeno or the Jaxon - what do you think of them?

Many thanks!

Personally, none are my cup a tea, I'm more of a Vintage type of guy.....and custom, but if I were to pick one, I'd have to say the Bogart. [huh]

Never buy a hat that is sized S, M, L, XL

Buying a hat can be a real crap shoot. Even hats that have proper sizes aren't always consistent. While I prefer the look of the Stefano Executive to the look of the other two, the sizing is an issue.

Bogart looks the most classic.

Not too high crowned and not too tapered.

Sparafucile, you live in NYC- come to our store!!! You will be able to try on a dozen styles in a C crown.
Thats the best way to compare hats .

Hat choices

I have a Scala, and it was a good buy for the money (about $60 and change, bought on sale). I agree with other posters here that you need to be careful about sizing. Best to get to a hat store.

The Bogart looks pretty good.

Agreed - not only for looks, but because it was the only one with actual sizes. I also found a 2008 thread here on this hat which sealed the deal for me!

I also wound up getting it for $20 less than the price you see!

And thanks to all that answered!
