Stetson Boss of the Plains 3X under license by Akubra arrived late afternoon.

And guess what I found still attached but folded behind the sweat? A black & gold keyhole size tag for 58 cm. Sellers measurements were way off. Looks like it is a 7-1/4, maybe a 7-1/8 now.

Great hat, just a bit dusty. I'm disappointed! I'm anxious to iron the brim & do some documentation but need to contact seller on Monday first. 3-1/2" RE brim X 5-3/4" or 6" OC.

I'll get better pics & measurements tomorrow. If anyone is interested let's talk before Monday - Tuesday.

Conservatively I measure 7.75" L, 6.5" W & a circumference of 22.469, making it currently just between sizes 7-1/8 & 7-1/4. The sweat & all stitching are good so I'm sure it could be nudged back to 7-1/4.

Nice! I posted about that one in another thread and almost bought it about week ago. The same seller had a 50's sovereign quality that I did end up purchasing. Hope I chose correctly! I would love to see some photos and hear what you think about it when it arrives.
