Does anyone have any advice about what size to go for? Are there any surer ways of working this out (before I start spending a lot of money on a hat)?
I measure myself with a proper tailor's tape measure and I'm about 58.5cm around the widest part of my head...
But I have a size 58 hat that that seems ever so slightly too large...
...But I also have a hat that seems to fit quite well and it's a 57...
...and I also have a size 59 hat, but it's too large unless I add foam under the sweatband, then it's fine...
I read at places Akubra that I should buy up to a size larger than my measurements...
Confusing....
Perhaps my head changes size if I am complimented in any way.... Granted, that doesn't happen very often, but still...
any suggestions?
