I would not go down a size. Its easier for a hat to be padded and eventually shrink down than stretching it.
Thanks T Rick. I see that etiquette thread has risen to the top again, I just missed it before ;-) Sounds like keeping your hat with you is best. I've been putting my $32 DP on chairs next to me, I'm sure I can keep doing it with another hat.
Mulceber - I'm leaning toward the Henry. Actually a little more than leaning ;-) I've already emailed John and he said that he is out of my size until after the holidays. He offered me to email someone named Stefan to see if he has one. I'm not sure who that is, but I shot him an email. Unless something else comes along, I can wait for John, he sounds like a nice guy.
I'm a size 23" as far as I can tell, which I think is a 59. I've been reading that these run bigger, so maybe I should go with a 58?

Panama Bob's $30 hats have a weave count as high as the Tommy Bahama ones at $125.00
Which reminds me, I need to pick up one of Bob's $45 Optimo for this summer.
Are these the hats you guys are talking about?
Thanks for the info. I have had a good lock around the forums and picked up a few things. I think that I have it fitting properly now with the help of some newspaper folded up behind the sweatband.
Just a friendly warning... newspaper ink can run with perspiration. I use white felt squares found in craft stores, inexpensive & can be cut into strips to work around the sweat = no risk of ink or dyes running...HTH
