So I've worked up an interest in flat caps and was wondering about sizing. I'm a size 6 7/8 or 7 in fedoras and so I think a medium would work. Do flat caps typically shrink a tad similar to many fedoras? Would it be better to buy slightly big than slightly small? Thanks!
I'd say better to buy slightly small, especially if your cap's sweatband is made of cloth rather than leather. Slightly small caps can stretch, but slightly large ones can't easily be reduced.
