It's easy: tell the hatter you want a full 5 3/4" open crown measured from the brim upwards. Don't assume anything, make all things you want explicit. I think the hatter would be pleased to have clear instructions. I know as a hatter I am always glad to receive really clear instructionsWell I once ordered a custom hat at 5 3/4 inch crown height and got back what looked to be 5 1/2. I was otherwise happy with it but also didn’t know if I was measuring the crown properly, so I just let it go.
Fast forward to today and I am ordering a second custom and I’d like to be sure I understand how to measure the final product.
So yeah, I’d like there to be some science involved.
