This may stop everyone from ever asking for that again (expect a word from the Bartender soon).
I measure it as a 53cm. Seeing your pics I’m apparently wearing it wrong.

It has been posted before, but this lovely Stetson Stetsonian bowler made a journey across the ocean to me. Fits like a glove, wonderful shape and nice felt. What's not to like? Brim at 5cm and crown at 12cm (-ish). Thanks go out to Randy @Rmccamey for the trade.
It was Stetson week this week (for me anyway). And another bowler.
Stetson Standard bowler. Imported for hat-retailer JS Meuwsen. Size 7 (English sizing though. so 7 1/8 American) with the brim at 5cm and the crown at 12cm (-ish). Seller stated that the original owner wore his hats during the WWII period, which seems likely for this one (and impossible for the others), judging by the manufacturing label. Anyway before Stetson started licensing their brand for the European market. In excellent condition and weighs 175 grams (not a lightweight). I'll post the labels and whatnot in the bowler thread.

Another Stetson. This time made under license by Failsworth in England. Came with its box.
Royal Stetson Denver in a brown colour called bison. Size 57 with the bound brim at 6,5cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Works both brim up and brim down. It is a true 57 so too large for me. Nice hand to the felt and somewhat more sturdy without being stiff. Weighs 134 grams.

And now the light coloured is comming
And still from the same owner, Stetson number three. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it could well be a duck imitator. This peach of a hat whispered "whippet" to me, but it was lying. Made under license in England by Failworth this Imperial Stetson in grey is actually a model called Del Monte 2 1/2. English size 7 or size 57 (but fits like a size 56 - which I was hoping for) with the bound brim at 6,2cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. Cuppy and pronounced flange in the back (and front) it does have attitude in spades. Early fifties by the looks of it.
This one weighs 125 grams.

Forgot I bought this one, which is hard to believe with such a nice hat.
Borsalino Lunasca 39 1/2 in a brown colour called Palma. That is the first time we've seen this colour, so the sheer endless number of Borsalino colours hasn't reached the bottom yet. Size 59 with the raw edge brim at 7,2cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. Weighs 120 grams and was sold by Sools, Paris. It's a beauty. A bit of the shadow of the old crease can still be seen in the back.

Gorgeous looking panama, Joe. And nice beach shots as well.
