Scala Classico Men's Crushable Wool Felt Fedora

I was looking to upgrade my headgear with a classic fedora, and searched all over. Some were too fancy, some were too "cowboy" (not that there's anything wrong with a cowboy hat, but it's not my style). This one looked perfect. The price seemed right, too. I didn't want a cheap hat, but I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars, either. I'm very pleased with it. It looks and fits great, it's comfortable and well made. I think this is a hat I'll wear for years to come, and always look good in it. And it came in a box, so I didn't get something that had been squished under other packages. Five stars!

Great hat. One of many that I own. Actually bought two. Do it, you won’t regret it.

Over the years I have returned multiple Scala hats due to poor quality or weird fit, but this hat came out of the box in good condition, good quality, and looks great. The XL is a little too big for my head, but if I go smaller, it will be too small and be uncomfortable to wear so I padded the sweatband a little and its doable. I would rather have it be too big rather than too small (that's what she said eh hem). I went ahead and purchased another color based on the looks, condition, and feel of this hat. Second hat: This hat came to me in a clear plastic bag. No box and nothing else to protect the hat. It was also shipped during the peak of the Christmas season and surprisingly the hat arrived in perfect condition. It was not crushed, folded, creased, wrinkled, or mis-shapened in any way. The hat was literally in perfect condition with a perfect shape. I don't know how that is even possible traveling so many miles, in so many different airplanes and trucks with nothing more than a plastic bag to protect it. The grey color is also perfect. Not too light and not too dark. I'm glad I purchased a second hat.

Smooth hat and perfect fit

Really love this hat--especially at this price point. It was this or the Hats in the Belfry version--also a nice hat, and which I ordered first--but the finish on this hat is just a tad better. The stitches that tack the grosgrain ribbon in place on the Belfry model were frayed and ruined the overall look. This Scala Classico model has clean, neat stitches, and that really makes a difference. I first ran into this model of the Scala fedora this fall in a period show that I did (MEMPHIS), and one of my cast mates had this exact hat--same size and color. I knew I wanted a fedora just like it, or another brand as good. Turns out--at least in this instance--that for this type of fedora, the Scala is just the fit. Speaking of fit, the Scala XL, which fits my huge melon of a head, is just right. The Hats in the Belfry model is just a little large--but that wasn't my problem with the hat. A hat spacer, and you're good to go. And before anyone thinks this is a screed against the Hats in the Belfry brand, I'm still looking to buy a trilby model, and the Belfry version looks very nice for that. For a more reserved but definite fedora, I really like this Scala hat. The brim is not too wide nor the crown too tall. It has a great 50s and 60s vibe. If I wanted a more flamboyant model, I'd go with the Belfry Gangster model, but I was looking for more 60s, less 30s. No defense for taste.

Perfect size and nice style , def going to buy more

I purchased this hat, and 2 others, for my husband for Christmas, since I wasn't sure which one would look the best or about the sizing. I purchased the Medium size of all 3 hats but this one was the smallest and fit the best. It is likely to stretch slightly with wear. This one was also the best in profile, meaning it wasn't too tall. The olive color really is dark but it is nice and matches many things my husband wears. He is not crazy about the wider hat band but he hasn't changed it out yet.

This is a sharp looking hat. Dress it down or up. Well made.
