Thanks Carter. I have the same head measurement, and I was looking at the Stylemaster as a possible new hat. It sounds like some other model might look better.

Pils, Just in case you're interested, the Stetson Pinnacle in Caribou is another hat I like a lot. I believe you can find it in both full Beaver and Soverign fur felts.

I have seen a sand colour (or something really light) Akubra swing at the Strand Hatters. It's a nice looking hat particularly in that colour. Give it a try.

Thanks Schanop, I will keep that one in mind for the future as well!;)
But I have decided to go with the Stylemaster for now... there is just something about it that I really like and I do feel it may look fairly nice on me! Can't wait to get it now!:D

Stylemaster vs Federation

I own a Federation and it is a fine fedora. I had admired the Stylemaster for a long time and bought on from a vendor in Australia on sale. When it came it was a size too large and I returned it. Frankly, I was relieved because the Stylemaster looked cheap. The trolley cord and ribbon were both very shoddy looking and the felt left a lot to be desired.

I would look some more for a candidate because the Federation is quite large for a feminine look IMHO.

I've owned both. I eventually ended up selling my carbon grey Federation here in the classifieds. The Stylemaster, on the other hand, was worn just today. :)

It's all personal preference, obviously, and the Federation is probably the better hat when it comes down to it, but that doesn't mean it looks good on everyone.
