Thanks to all the inquiries, but the hat has been sold!

The crown height is about 6" (unbashed). The brim width is 2 7/8" https://www.dropbox.com/sc/sm6beyuvtwj16d9/AADIJA2XjxfZCZCYrME8B5G6a https://www.dropbox.com/sc/mziggsvjh0owxv7/AAAXcHqwVqKnRZG-LTHZmuy2a

For sale is a brand new, unbashed Akubra Campdraft, Bluegrass Green, in a size 60. I only recently purchased it and would love to keep it, but my wife feels otherwise (apparently, 3 hats is "more than any man needs" and she won't tolerate a 4th). I will ship it in the same Akubra box I...

Just as an update, I contacted Sterling Leather for a status update and to say I'd be happy to keep on waiting for an excellent stratoliner, and was promptly issued a refund.

I sent them an email as well saying I'd be glad to wait longer unless the order is unlikely to ever be filled. I'll let everyone know what happens.

So I just ordered an Excellent Stratoliner in Caribou from Sterling Leather. It looks like it's a special order item for them, but the price was pretty nice with a discount code. I went with a 7 1/2 and will just pad it if it's too large (my size 59 Akubra Sydney gives me pretty vicious hat...

Thanks. The price is nice, but I really want to wait to see a few more reviews of the Excellent Quality Strat before dropping the cash on a new hat. In the end, the stories of warped premiere brims after rain wear concern me.

Does anyone have any experience with berkeleyhat.com? They currently have a Cornhill Premiere Strat on sale for a decent price. Given the quality control issues with this run of Strats (finishing, blocking issues with the Caribou run, etc), I didn't want to get a "good deal" on a seconds...

Sounds like the sizing can be all over the map. I guess I'll just let Delmonico know when I place my order. My noggin is a solid 23 1/4" --- right between two sizes. Jlee562, gtdean48 and Thunderball: thanks for the info, guys!

Sounds like I should err on the side of the larger of the two sizes and pad the liner if necessary. I'm right in between two sizes, and I don't mind padding an Akubra until it shrinks to fit, but when I'm dropping $350 on a hat, I want it to fit.

Do the modern Stratoliners fit true to size? I wear a size 60 in the Akubra Campdraft and size 59 in the Sydney. Figured I'd order an Excellent Stratoliner in 7 1/2, but if they run large, I'll get a 7 3/8 instead. The new Strat is a damn fine looking hat!

Has anyone received one of the Excellent quality hats yet? I'd love to see some more pictures. I'm socking away money now for June purchase of a Caribou Strat.

So is that the heritage felt (i.e. the "deluxe" model), or the imperial? Either way, it looks great!

I really like that Silverbelly on you! I feel that one is in my near future.

I have a bluegrass green on order from Sam at EA. I'd still like to find a Glen Grey, but unfortunately a size 61 is just too big (I'm already sizing up from a 59).
