Although I am inept in taking and posting electronic photos, I might be inclined to make a straight-up trade of my brown Borsalino 100% beaver fedora, brim size 2 3/8, for an Open Road-style Stetson 100 or a Stetson 7x clear beaver in size 7 1/8. The Borsalino is size 7 1/8, or 57 cm, but because of the lambskin sweatband, it's snug. I have had the hat stretched so it works as a 7 1/8, but it's still snug. Might be great for someone who's on the small side of 7 1/8 or between 7 and 7 1/8. The crown has been re-blocked so that it's a little different from the original shape, but naturally you can re-block it to whatever shape you like. If someone has a Stetson 100 or 7x clear beaver in Open Road and 7 1/8, I'd be interested to talk. If interested, you can see what the Borsalino looks like on several retailers' websites. I originally bought it from Hats.com. Now they retail for north of $600 I think; I paid $450 a few years ago. Go ahead and send me a pm if interested.
