yes i meant 22 inches, yeah 21 inches is to small, and i don't want to stretch it, i like the crown to be a bit big, i'm meticulous..

it's odd i have a Borsalino size 7 3/8 US 7 1/4 UK
bUT when I measured it, the circumference came to 22 inches [huh]

Maybe because its a Euorpean hat, the size runs smaller?

DOOR,

:eek: STOP searching.

That was a joke. :eusa_doh:

ExpandaHat (Expand A Hat) is not a real product.

It's like that stuff you use to focus light around corners. You know, BendaBeam aka BendaRay. :D

It is possible for you, at home, to return a hat to its original size or to strech a small(er) hat up a size.

Not to hijack this thread, but I just watched this strat end on ebay. Anyone else ever seen a Canadian model Standard Stratoliner? Canadian markings, and a ventilated sweatband.

How much did it go for?

I was looked at all results under Stetson and did not find that listing, nice looking hat though.

May I join?

Mine isn't a Stetson, it's a Fawcett. Art made my Stratoliner clone for me earlier this month. It is Natural color in light weight felt. It is as close to the perfect hat as I will ever get.

I apologize for the less than spectacular potography and the hideous hat model.

I guess this is one of the factors that contributes in the skyrocketing bid price on any available Stratoliner in ebay lol lol lol lol and that includes Open Road as well lol lol lol
