I'm a dead on 24" & have always went with 61. Better a tad large than too tight right out of the box. -
2015 Stetson Excellent Quality GREEN THIN RIBBON (Preview & Review)
I'm with Bill as usual. I received a prototype from HatCo once for eval with full knowledge that hat had to be returned but was told I'd get it back once correction were addressed. That last part never materialized. I think the 150th year has a lot to do with such an Excellent offering but so... -

Tough color choice for true. It will be large right out of the box but will form to fit with creasing & wear, may need some sizing strips for a while. To me, silver belly is the most versatile color & a staple for any lid rotation. The BGG may limit its noggin time depending on your wardrobe... -

New to customs - 2 quick ?s
Though it is not impossible, I don't think a hand-felted custom hat is going to be that attractive of a offering. After seeing the complexity of making felt bodies at Winchester & seeing a video of an Austrian hatter doing the felting manually, the product for a hatter to work with is extremely... -
Akubra kiandra
I had a Kiandra for a spell. It is halfway from a western & an outback style, closer to tycoon creased western with just a trimmer brim width. I sold it since I have other westerns & like the Boss of the Plains & Bushman over it for taller crowns. I had a cattleman also but didn't care... -

Iron Rangers or Wolverine 1000mi?
Do you wear the same size in both? I'm wearing a 10D in Iron Rangers but a 9.5 in Aldens Indy boot. Wondering if Beckmans will be same size as IRs & save a trip to the Red Wing store....- gtdean48
