Nice! Looks good on you. I'd forgotten about the Brando cap, and Sterkowski are only in Poland so no duties to the UK. I think that's a winner. Cheers ingineer!

Hi gents, Which hat for wearing casually with a biker jacket (Lewis Leathers Super Monza)? I'm thinking some kind of grey panel cap - my fedoras just look a bit too pop-star wannabe with the biker jacket.

Great looking hat Enzo! Good work on the comprehensive review too.

Nice hat Jim. It really suits you.

Hi, I'm looking for an Akubra Fed - or a similar open-crown fedora - in brown or maybe fawn. Just looking for an tough everyday hat, so doesn't need to be mint. I'd need a size 7 1/4 UK / 7 3/8 US / 59cm. Ideally in the UK or Europe so I can avoid getting stung by the UK customs...

Really nice boot Jamie, I wouldn't mind a pair of these too! Where did you get them from? They do look to me like the boots in the original post and with the three crowns embossed on them they're clearly Swedish, but I'm no expert on these things!

Great selection of hats! I especially like the Stetson tommyK. £50 custom D'aquino for me today.

zebedee - I have those teethmarks on my 50's HB too. I seem to remember a discussion on here about Aero hammering (literally) the leather when they fold it, so I assume they got a little over-enthusiastic when doing the zip area? Doesn't really bother me because only I can see it. *edit -...

Looking forward to the pics 89quatro. I know what you mean about the taper, I'd prefer less too. I'm still fairly new to hats, but I think it may be quite a common feature on European hats?

Very nice jhoops. Really nice colour.

Good man! Look forward to seeing the pics.

No. I just emailed and asked for pics.

Guardian Enzo - Thanks. I should first mention that this is my 2nd fur-felt hat (although I've handled a few others) so my judgement is based on that. But I'm happy with the construction and materials, all of the stitching is very neat and precise. The felt is very supple and lighter in weight...

Will done Jim, that looks like a nice hat.

Thanks Perry, Yes. It's the light grey.
