I measure 22-5/8" which most sources list as a 7-3/8. But when I buy a new 7-3/8 it's just roomy enough to need a little foam insert.
Found a 20-30 year old felt Stetson I like the look of for a good price. But it's a 7-1/8.
Reckon I could safely and slowly stretch it to fit me?
Yeah, I figured the same thing. Find hat in an old Stetson box...must be a Stetson. I wasn't implying somebody was counterfeiting Stetsons, but I wouldn't doubt someone would knowingly pass off an unlabeled hat as a Stetson at all. Sadly, I've learned the hard way humans are a fairly...
I expect I could have one custom made. But first thought I'd ask if any off-the-shelf quality Open Road style hats are available without the bound edge?
Bound edges just always look wrong to my eyes for some reason.
Thanks for the post. Not concerned with specs being screen accurate as I generally don't wear my hat Indy style. I just like the color, brim size, and open crown. And I'm most concerned with quality in the $200 and under neighborhood.
I've been hat shopping online today and doing a lot of searches here. I really like the Open Crown Indy by Miller Hats.
Used to be that Miller Hats were recommended in threads, but I've read some comments that their quality has nose-dived.
I take it that most suggest avoiding them these days...

These are hand made in London.
Bought them new last year, but they're too narrow for me so been stored in the desk drawer ever since.
