Delmonico's is local to me and a pleasure to do business with. For all who do have a local B&M retailer be sure to support them when you can as a customer.
I do not have an OR in CT, but I would not worry about others. I hear the "Indy" comments all the time when I am wearing my Orvis hat on weather days, but it doesn't stop me from wearing it proudly.
An OR or OR type hat is on my list, short list.
Thank you for all the replies. I am sporting a 7 3/8 Long Oval and have been able tame a Stetson to fit well though daily wear. A Camp Draft (most likely) is in my future, and I am feeling more confident about a 59.
Thanks again.
Do you buy an Akubra true to size or upsize to get the shrinking process correct? I have only held off buying an Akubra because it will be my first and the thought of a potential return process though the mail bothers me.
In addition to the Chatham and Downs Delmonico carries the Stetson Mercury which has a 2" brim. Narrow down your size and call Delmonico's for some advise. They are a good shop to deal with.

Akubra Boomerang shrinking project has started. The hat was my father's, he has been trying to give it to me for a while. It is a 61, I am a 59/60 LO. Paper towels under the band and hat on my head for a couple hours a day for the time being. I will let you know how it works out.
