Thanks, gentlemen. A service provider, rather than a maker, makes a lot of sense. Likely not buying this one, so internal investigation won't be an option. Oh well!

Thanks again.

Curious if an older Akubra that is marked as 7-1/4 is the same or different than a US 7-1/4? ( the one I noticed did not have any cm size marking) It always seemed to me that an Akubra 59 was in between a Stetson 7-1/4// 7-3/8 for fit on my noggin

My experience has been that vintage Stetsons run a little large. I have a modern Stetson hemp Stratoliner that runs way large, a full size or more - need to sell it. I'm a size 58.5 cm, kind of an in between. Akubra 58 fits me but they shrink over time so 59 with a shim fits better

I have found the same fit with the hemp Stratoliners

I agree that most of the time an Akubra 59 fits me the same as most Stetson 58/ 7-1/4 (Im also in between 58 and 59)

The Akubra hat in question is only marked as 7-1/4 ( no cm size)... my question is ... is an Austrailian 7-1/4 the same as a US 7-1/4? (or is it like a European size 7-1/4)

Yes.

 

[RickP]

Yes.

Excellent... Thanks! I took a chance on a nice green Akubra "East Coast" in Austrailia.. It was too tempting to pass up... Now I can relax knowing it will probably fit lol... Should be somewhere over the Pacific by now

 

[Bamaboots]

Only reason I know.

 

[RickP]

Im confident it will be close enough that I can MAKE it fit lol

Anyone familiar with the Stetson Danbury?

I’m curious about the crown height and any impressions owners have. Thanks.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I saw a Stetson Danbury in an online store, and am tempted. The crown looks a good height but hard to tell!
