With that FINE hat on your head you certainly don't look ill. Of course, who's looking at you, I'm focused on the hat!
A great fedora on one's head always cranks you up at least one notch on the scale.
For wooden crown blocks how much bump in circumference is given to no sweatband? In other words: if you want to do casual reblock without sweat removal on a 7 1/8 hat do you use a 7 1/8 block or a 7 block or is the sweat vs no sweat equal to a half size between the two?

I do not envy you on your daily selection of which hat to wear. Just choosing between these two would drive me mad. I'd have to don one wear it a distance then take it off and store and run back and put on the other and go the same path. Repeating this all the route.
