2.5" all around on my tape.

Mine is 2 1/2 also. For a pic of the Nostalgia, see my current avatar.

Just right.

Where did you guys get your Nostalgias (Nostalgi?)?

I picked up mine from Sterling Leather after getting a recommendation from Blackthorn. They don’t seem to have it listed on their site anymore, so I don’t know if they still carry it or not. I did see that the Fedora Store had them listed at a similar reasonable price now.

Thanks!
ANd the dimensions of the crown?It's a tall one....

 

[Mr E Train]

It's 5 1/2" open crown if I remember correctly. Try calling the Stetson/HatCo outlets in Garland, Texas, or St. Joseph, Missouri (just Google the numbers) to see if they have your size in stock. I got mine from the Garland outlet for $99.95, and the St. Joseph outlet didn't have any at the time, but they said they would be getting some in.

I got mine from the Garland outlet as well.

5 1/2 is 14 cm...is it not too much?

It depends on your taste. I personally think it's the perfect height. It's open crown, meaning it is just a round dome shape when you receive it, and then you crease it yourself, so you can lower the crown height more or less depending on how you choose to crease it. You can see mine in my avatar, I chose to make it into a pork pie.

Everyone's taste is different. But you can get an idea how tall it is by looking at my avatar.

I got mine from Sterling Leather, too, about a year ago.

Hi Blackthorn!How much tall is yours?

You can make tall open crown hats short but you cant make short open crown hats tall. So, imho, when in doubt, a little taller is the way to go.

:arated:

In the hat world, when in doubt, go big. More material gives you more to work with, even if the "work" is a little trimming a la snip snip on a big brim or shaping a tall crown into a short telescope.

I would prefer 6 inches myself, but you can just increase the depth of the bash (if your head’s shape allows for it), in order to bring it down lower.
