I I meant US hat size. I included the inches symbols on accident. Corrected the post. Cheers

I see. I was under the assumption everyone was talking about hat sizes (7 1/8 vs 7 1/4), not realizing that a quarter inch is essentially a whole size up. Thanks for the feedback, gents. I guess it's just not in the cards for me to buy a vintage hat as of yet. Looks like I'm still moving...

I just checked, and the hat is a size 57 in metric, which corresponds to a 7 1/8 hat size in just about every chart I could find out there. Weirdly enough, all the charts vary when it comes to converting inches to US hat size, but seem a lot more consistent when it comes to converting metric to...

Hey guys, I remember reading an answer to this question somewhere, but I can't recall where. I'm a size 7, 22" precisely. Would a hat that measures 22 1/2" be too big/loose? If not, would the proportions still look fine if the hat is 1/2" bigger? Also, should one bother with a sweat stuffer of...

I gotta tell ya, it hasn't been easy picking a hatter. Still, as much as I wanna share the details, I'd rather wait until everything becomes official, so to speak. And yeah, going custom for a first hat is not something that most folks do, but I have no hat shops around, and I can't find...

Thank you guys for all the comments, I really do appreciate it. I feel like the consensus is that while both colors work, and while grey might better be suited for formal wear and my dark hair, that I should go for what I like the most. I honestly really like browns. I did want to keep an open...

Thanks, Abba, I'm glad to be here. As for my wardrobe, I put together a small album to give you a better idea of what I normally wear. This album doesn't cover everything, of course, but it'll give you a good sense of the color pallet I talk about. https://imgur.com/a/bHIvzdc Cheers

I get that light grey is a versatile hat color, but when it comes to the clothing and colors I'll be wearing my hat with, would that still be the better option?

Hey folks, Hope you're all doing well. So, I thought about this for some time, and I figured that I should get myself a custom hat made. Now, I called and emailed a few hatters, trying to get a feel of who I'll be dealing with, and who's process better works for me. In the end, I've narrowed...

Hey jlee, Somehow I managed to completely miss your post. Seriously, thank you for the help, I really do appreciate it. I'll definitely keep on searching online and doing some more research. I'll also have a look at the photobucket link; again, thanks for that. For me, and I know this might...

Haha, nothing happened, man. I actually think that, for the most part, there was plenty of civil discourse going on. I really hope none of this will get in the way of all of us getting along. Seriously, the FL is a hell of a resource for all kinds of information. About a year ago, this site...

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to write, I genuinely appreciate it. With that being said, I think I'm just gonna walk away from this. I feel like I've spent more time having to justify my thread/train of thought than anything else. Before I go, I'm just gonna end my string of posts on...

I think some kind of misunderstanding happened here. This isn't about laziness, nor am I trying to be a lazy person. And even if I never created this thread (well, the one previous to being merged), I personally think it'd be a helpful tool. Why do I take the time to clarify and try to get my...

1) My thread is not an obligation. If you're posting pictures and details on my thread, it generally means you're willing to measure your face. 2) I completely agree. Which is why adding any extra details/photos by the posters will be appreciated. I've mentioned height in my original thread...

@hatsRme @jlee562 I get what you're saying, but you have to keep a few things in mind: 1) I'm trying to start a new type of thread that not only helps me, but anyone new who shares basic measurements to my own. 2) I do not simply want to catalogue old photos. Think about how tedious and...
