I would like to purchase a couple of Borsalino Doria flat caps or the ascot style caps. The few that I have been able to try on all seem to run small. For example, a cap that is marked as a size 58 will fit like a 56 or 57. Is that sizing differential the norm for the Borsalino Doria? Also, I...

Great!!! That takes the pressure off me.

Wish they were my size .... :(

Tried to PM you but your mailbox is full.

I am really enjoying the feedback/education provided here. I actually selected a couple of hats at Optimo, but wanted to check out Art's product. The pricing structure for the VS hat is definitely better for me. It seems that Art favors the higher and fuller crowns, as in the vintage hats. While...

Hello, All. I finally got the opportunity to visit Optimo Hats in Chicago. I highly recommend them. Naturally, I found several hats that I would love to have. But I also have to be wise in the use of my dollars. I have noticed that several FL members speak very favorably of the VS hats. How do...

Agreed.

For all of you who wear a size 7 1/4 and you are feeling guilty about having "too many" hats, please send them to me. :) I sincerely want to help you get rid of that awkward guilty feeling. Color doesn't matter. No need to thank me because ......... I just like helping. :D

I notice that you wear your hair a little long. I envy you for that. :) (I'm follicly challenged. [huh] ) If the hat is just a little snug now, it will fit perfectly once you get your next hair cut. It's a great hat that looks good on you now, and will look even better then.
