Wondering who may have experience good or bad with Gamble & Gunn in Great Britain. Have this pork pie ordered and on the way: https://gambleandgunn.com/product/gamble-gunn-heisenberg-style-porkpie-hat/ At $41 U.S. obviously not high end but other hats I’ve gotten in the UK have been very...

Great Comment thank you. This Scala I found runs small so I originally got a medium and had to exchange for a large. That being said I have a couple of spacers inside of it so even if I do hit a point where it shrinks a little bit I’ll be in good shape. Appreciate the comments and feedback.

Great feedback thank you!

If I should be posting this in another forum kindly let me know. My question is if anyone here has any experience or thoughts/comments on Del Monico Hatter out of New Haven Connecticut? I understand they've been a family based business since 1908 making many of their hats and I just ordered...

Interesting read as I just had an "are you Jewish" encounter recently coming out of a grocery store. I was wearing a Scala crushable water repellant black fedora. Featuring only a 2 3/8 brim and crown about 4 inches high. I was unaware that this (?) resembles a Jewish style fedora? In my opinion...

Thanks for the positive comments. I think in regards to it being quite a range as mentioned; probably because when I started out getting into nicer hats and away from baseball hats like so many here have; I started with stingy brim 1.5 inch or so brims. I started to be able to branch out into 2...

Thanks much for the kind words-

Hi new here and hoping I'm posting right. Wanted to get some opinions on couple of my hats. Been experimenting and seems 1 3/4 inch- 2.5 inch brim is about my sweet spot at least as far as I can tell in looking at myself. I like it.
