ScalaMen's Wool Felt Derby Hat

It's like a hat that I had in college. My wife said ti was a Laurel and Hardy hat - but I would rather look like Churchil.

Like the hat. It’s gorgeous but I bought my normal size and it’s way too big. I’m a 7 but it feels like and 8.

Apparel for playing in a band.

Looks great! Get lots of compliments and inquiries about it. Fun to wear.

I like the hat--seems well made. It was packaged very poorly, however, and arrived with the crown crushed. I managed to work out the dents an mostly eliminated the creases.

I liked the hat - we bought his normal hat size - Large - but the Large in this hat is really a medium.

I'm a 7 3/8" and the large fits. My head is oval shaped and the hat is a bit more rounded shape so that there is a little bit of a gap at the temples. This makes the fit at the forehead a little tight but some steaming and wearing the hat transfers the extra room at the temples to the fore and aft dimensions. I have the same Scala Derby, model 506 in black, from another source and the hats are identical. I also have a Scala Bowler, model 507 in black. The 507 has a slightly lower crown than the 506 Derby but the brims and remaining shape of the hats are the same. In addition, the 507 wool felt is not as heavy or stiff as the 506 Derby. The Bowler is still a solid hat but I prefer the robustness of the Derby over the Bowler. That being said, the Bowler is lighter in weight and feel and more immediately conforms to your head.If you're looking at this hat you're probably looking at other brands as well. I had a Bollman 1890 Bowler that I sent back. The hat was twice as expensive and the felt was not as heavy as the Scala Derby or Bowler. In addition the shape of the hat was round and the brim was not as wide and had a constant upturn. I prefer the Scala and how the brim is upturned on the sides and shallows to the front and rear. I also prefer the "rocker" ( my term ) of the Scala where there is a noticeable dip to the front and rear of the hats brim. I also have a Jaxson Derby decorated with beads. The Jaxson crown is stiff like the Scala but the brim is slightly less so. This might be due to the handling while the hat was beaded. The Jaxson shape is very similar to the Scala Derby. I'll try to post pics later.

I bought it as a gift and my brother loves it

My dad loves it. The large was just right

Very well made derby.Arrived on time and undamaged as stated.Very cool looking hat.The size chart worked perfectly.

I have a fedora and a baseball cap. this fits the bill in between, not too formal and not too casual. I love it! The feather is removable if you're not fancying it.

I love hats but this product is a tad too hard around the noggin. I also searched for white or off-white in the same style but to no avail....too bad because I would have scooped those up as well.

It's my fault that's it's too large, great hat otherwise
