just placed order for a fawn Capricorn from EA, on hindsight a bad choice.
i ordered a 58 as im a 57.5 and asked them to choose a hat that was close to a 57.5 .
i received this reply from Tim Martin,
Akubra Hats only come in full sizes, not half-sizes. Please let me know what you would like to...
heres an email i receive from Naomi & Trudi from the Hattery, regarding my last purchase of a fed. the hat they sent me. a 58 even though im a 57, fits great
The Fed IV's tend to measure a little small - eg. a Size 57cm generally measures 56.5cm, so just a little too small for you. We have...
I've always liked hats. from the black and white movies of the 30's and 40's to cowboy movies.I'll watch the blacklist, not for the story line, but just to glimpse Redington wearing his hats! Also both my Grandfathers wore hats, I just like hats!
Wearing my new fed bought from the hattery. It's tawney fawn,andwith help from the hattery it fits like a glove! For the first time ever i got stung by the UK import duties!!
it was a campdraft from Everything Australian that i ordered 57 that was so small it must have been a sizing error when made. The non aftercare i received from Everything Australian has put me off buying from them again.(received email saying i should buy a hat stretcher with a link stating "...
just ordered a Fed from the Hattery, this is from an email response querying the sizing, The Fed IV's tend to measure a little small - eg. a Size 57cm generally measures 56.5cm. Best regards,
Naomi & Trudi. Last hat I bought from Everything Australian came so small i had to return it. The after...
just an update, I had to chase EA up for the refund! i explained the problem with the hat's size. no direct response. apart from this email,
Hi Phil,
Thanks for the email.
The easiest way to prevent a hat from shrinking and making it larger, is with the Hat Stretcher.
Please follow the link...
I've sent it back, don't know if label was incorrect, just know that it was tight and as Akubras do shrink. To me it was a no brainer,I had to bite the bullet and return it. I'll see what Sam suggests when he receives it back.
Just received my new campdraft silverbelly from everything Australian. sadly it's going straight back! it's my first Akubra that doesn't fit! my stylemasters bought from Sam fit like a glove, as does my fed. usually they feel slightly loose and shrink to fit.
Im size 57, all my other lids are...
Hi Thanks for this,
im going to order a campdraft from EA. im off on a gaunt to one of the rain forests in Australia. sounds strange but it'll be easier to buy the hat now, rather than search it out whilst there!

it is a nice combination of they type of hat that it looks like you are used to and a sort of "western" fedora ... the price is right ... whatever you do don't get the "silverbelly"
hi, what's wrong with the silverbelly? i'm in between choosing silverbelly or bluegrass green...
just received my Penman everyman fedora today! got stung by the British import duty (ouch!) what a great hat. at first i thought John had sent me the wrong size as im normally a 57,this is a 58, but fits so so well. the sweatband is SO nice,cant wait to wear it in.
