Borsalino.

 

[Raider]

I guess because they are local and I can shop when I please, Peters Bros.

 

[Lefty]

Ebay. They make some great hats.

 

[G MAN]

Akubra
As far as vintage goes I have never had one so I can't say.

 

[DRB]

Vintage? Borsalino, who else..........Panizza comes in a close second.

Well,, I have 3 Stetsons, and 3 Biltmores. I love the soft fur on the Biltmores, my Stetson OR is one of my favorites also.

Hey does TARGET count. My brother told me they make a really nice hat and that I should check 'em out.

Though I've not pesonally had dealings with them, from the examples of their work I've seen here, Art Fawcett, or Optimo or Gus Miller @ Batsakes would be good choices. Myself, I frequent Peters Bros. here in Ft. Worth as they are local for me. And for mail order, I like David Morgan for my Akubra's as they are an American firm

Borsalino.

I think so, fur felt
Palma toquilla from Montecristi, straw
both the best in all the world

 

[GamaH]

Borsalino, possibly Optimo as well soon.

My top 10 vintage would include more Stetsons than any other hatter.

Bingo!

I don't have one yet, but there's something about Hufvud hats - the Bogart and Ragnar models in particular - that really grabs me. The hat I have that I most treasure is an Art Fawcett in silverbelly with a black ribbon.
