    Borsalino Doria Cap Sizing Question

    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...

    Better Deal - Optimo or VS

    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...

    Better Deal - Optimo or VS

    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...

    whats everyones opinion on 100%wool fedora's?

    When I first started wearing hats, I allowed a salesman to talk me into three wool hats for a combined price that was equal to one fur felt hat. The wool hats were $50.00 each, so a total of $150.00. I figured that I was saving money by getting a variety of colors for the same dollars. I quickly...

    How Many Fedoras did you see today?

    1940's - 1960's Royal Stetson Fedora

    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.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    The fact that the hats were located in Sofia, Bulgaria is what made me leery of bidding on them. I fear sending money, not receiving the item, and having to take a loss.

    Fedora Color suggestions

    You can tell by this thread's content that you have no choice but to get a charcoal gray, and a light gray, and a dark brown, and a light brown, and a tan, and a silverbelly and perhaps a blue hat. :D Then you can venture out into perhaps an olive and even a black. You may as well get on with...
