Probably means that it's unavailable at the moment.

Yup... that's what it means. Previously, in another thread somewhere her on COW, Todd (Puppetboy) mentioned that the Uptowner was a short, test run of just 12 hats, and once we here caught wind of them, they went quickly. They have not been in stock since, which has been for a couple of weeks. The Downtowner, however is a FINE hat for the money, and will serve you well, if a new lid is what you seek. Got mine just two days ago.

i have both the downtowner and the uptowner and i enjoy both of these hats. yeah todd had said earlieir before the uptowner was a limited test run but they should have more soon ....

So what is the difference between the Uptowner and Downtowner? Are either of them associated with a particular movie or scene?

well the uptowner is a softer hat a little bit easier to shape the brim in whatever particular shape that you want, where the downtowner is a stiff hat and is shaped for you and looks like the "streets of cairo" look . here are some pics side byside of the two hats
the uptowner is on the left and the downtowner is on the right

the uptowner seems nice but the downtowner...look at that brim! so stiff it won't flatten stiffer than a DP, I'd say

I am thinking about ordering the downtowner but I have a question about the size. I were a size 59 and that size comes from Akubra Fed. so should I get a size 59 from Todd?

But how does it compare to an Akubra or a PB Custom?

It's a moot point anyhoo...
Just got an e-mail back, and they don't carry 7 3/4 size

Have you tried shopping for a hat in a retail store, such as a western wear place for a cowboy hat, for example? Hat sizing is so far off of your actual measurement. Some hats from one line fit me in 7 3/8, while some were too small or too large. Since hat sizing is so inconsistent, try using your actual measurement in inches or centimeters.

Nah, I'll just stick with Akubra.....they do up to my size...

(IMHO, I can't help but think it's a little bit silly that the Indy Hat section of Todd's website says up to Euro 64, and yet they only carry up to 61........)

i think they do carry it up to but when hats sells out they take the size off the chart to let people know whats left in stock

that's what it is. when an item is not "in stock" they pull it off the website. when they are back in stock, they'll be listed again.

This is a direct quote from the e-mail...
"No, I’m sorry, we only carry them up to size 61."

That's pretty clear to me that they don't carry anything bigger than a 61.
