Discovering my right size at Vass may become the textbook example of winner's curse.

@mr monty

Trust me sir, it’s properly sized. In case you haven’t noticed, I have a biggish Mellon. My head measures 24” around which is precisely a size 61.

When it comes to hats, it can get very tricky. You have to consider your build to properly chose the right brim size and crown size. This one is a 2.9” brim and 4” crown (hardly tall for a hat). Also I need at least 2.75” brim to balance out my broad shoulders not to mention my noggin.

Those fashion brand “stingy-brim” trilby’s you see around on the street would look silly on my head.

You are correct sir! Here are more details than you’d care to know …

Grandi and Rubinelli Washed White Linen PCF1403, President Spread Collar, Soft One Button Cuff, Australian MOP Buttons, No Placket Front Placket, Split Yoke ?
Cheers. Their decision (one for which I'm choosing to take substantial credit :cool:) to roll out a Soft Milano option has left me plotting out my next PC orders.
