I am interested in trying a cap out.v if I'm a 7 1/4 US, am i a 58 cm in caps? Because I'm used to the leather sweatband, i can manipulate it but not sure about the wool cap and elastic band. Do i go smaller because it stretches? I see the sizes are more S-M-L. Is 7 1/4 a Medium or Large? Thx for any input.

Blackthorn is absolutely right--trying them on to see which size is best for you is always the best thing to do if you're able to. If not, I'd suggest you contact the manufacturer to get clarification on which of their sizes is closest to 7-1/4 because there is no established standard between hat makers when it comes to generic sizing.
