A client living out on a remote tropical island came to me wanting something all his own. We landed on a Monte Carlo crown over a fairly short Aficionado brim, and the result stopped me in my tracks – I could practically smell the bourbon and hear the thoroughbreds rounding the far turn. It wears just as beautifully on a woman as on a man. Small moves in brim width or curl shift its whole personality; I’d point you toward roughly 2 5/8 to 3 inches with a gentle curl.
