Ah, my apologies; thank you for the correction.
On a separate note, is it possible to shorten a crown by having it bashed deeper or will that ruin the hat?
Yeah, I suppose. Maybe I shouldn't think about it so much.
A slightly important question would be this. What is the average crown height and brim length (such that it is measured against, anything higher = high, anything longer = long, etc)?
Is a 4.25 inch crown considered high, medium or...
After several more head measurements (with the help of someone else), it seems that my head size is closer to 7 than it is to 7 1/8.
Are hat sizes ever designed with people rounding down sizes in mind is it always rounding up?
Ok this is what my Stetson's shape is like...
And this is where there is quite a bit of space..
Edit: It's to scale btw. So the front is about 3/4 of a cm of space, and the back is about 1.2cm.
How different is the fit of a Stetson Western(cowboy) hat to a Fedora? Because I already have a 7 1/8 Stetson; I could try putting some foam tape and see if it still is too loose. If it is then I know that 7 1/8 is too large for me and that it only fit the other time because I had this really...
Someone mentioned something about oval shaped head if it fits in the front and back, but loose at the sides.
In my case, the hat fits at the sides, but is loose in the front and back (hence the awkward tilting forward and backward when I nod or 25degree angle shifts when I shake my head).
Oh, I'm actually not stateside at the moment. I went to a Borsalino boutique in Verona to try on the hats and stuff. Unfortunately I don't speak even basic Italian, so as helpful as they tried to be, I don't think they really understood my questions. As to why I didn't buy anything, they didn't...
Basically, the 7 1/8 can move forward and backward a little (about a cm) and if I turn my head rapidly, it shifts at about a 25degrees angle out of place to the opposite direction.
The sides fit.
Actually the sides felt fine with a 7 1/8. Just that there was enough space for me to stick my pinky in, at the back.
As in, the sides are snug with a 7 1/8 (and cannot be pushed from left to right) but the front and back have space, and so if I were to grab my hat with both hands and try to...
About the fit, I seem to be like in the middle a 7 and a 7 1/8, with maybe a really slight lean toward 7.
7 1/8 feels as though it will fall off if I'm on a galloping horse (though what I'm doing on a galloping horse wearing a fedora is another thing altogether).
Ok so I went to a hat store today, and tried on a number to see what looked good and such.
I have a small problem though. A hat NOT supposed to move when you shake your head right? I'm not doing any death metal headbanging, just a decent "left right left right" in about 1 second and a 7 1/8 hat...
Ah I apologize for the confusion. I'm not looking for a Western hat for NYC (or a western hat at all, for that matter). I was simply throwing out any bits and pieces of information that may be of use, such as the size of my western hat (7 1/8) and the fact that due to the wide brim, it looks way...
Ok i'm not sure about proportions (I'm only 5'3, and I'm sure Axl is way taller than that) but my face, measured in the middle from the bottom of chin, to where my hair roots start is 8inches long. My forehead (also measured from the center) from where eyebrows would meet if I had a unibrow, is...
