Sounds like a blast Mike! The trip to the haberdashery sounds like a HUGE blast too. Your haberdasher wouldn't happen to be The Natty Dresser in Albany would it?
Is this a pretty snug 7 1/2 or more to the looser side? I am in between a 7 1/2 and 7 5/8 and am wondering if this will work for me. You normally wear a 7 3/8 right?
Congratulations my friend!!!! Very exciting news. It does look like we will be experiencing the same thing around the same time as my wife's due date for our second child is Feb 6th. :) Love the hat by the way and you are looking sharp as always.
Right on! Thank you very much for the help. The seller responded and said there were no tags under the sweat so I'm glad to have a rough idea at least.
Thank you sir. As I am new to boaters I'm not sure if that is good or bad. Does that by chance help to give it a time period range of manufacture (in the event that this hat doesn't have any additional info under the sweat)? The seller stated it was from the 1920s but it certainly doesn't look...

I agree, it certainly does appear to be wider. I suppose it could just be an illusion with it being a lighter color but I doubt it as I concur it looks wider.
Just got off the phone with Candi... They only received two of these hats. The other hat is in 7 3/8. She mentioned it has a small blemish on the crown but didn't elaborate and I didn't ask her to send pictures because I didn't want to try and stretch the hat two sizes to fit my noggin. Somebody...
Holy s%*@! That hat is absolutely stunning! The color of the felt with that ribbon is perfect! I agree on open crown but that factory crease is about as gorgeous a profile as one could hope for! Not to mention it is the Excellent quality!! You are one lucky devil Bob!! I am calling Candy right...
