Hello Fedora Fans,

I will be making another fedora using a FEPSA buckskin color 120G weight 100% pure rabbit, I have decided on the color and I am thinking of 5.5" open crown with a single crease, 3" wide brim with binding, matching hat band and brim binding, coffee brown. I am having trouble with the hat size.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Have a Great weekend,
Darrell

Those proportions are going to look incredibly well-balanced on a larger head. Have you considered blocking it as a 7 3/8? Thinking for guys with bigger frames looking for a bold, classic shape. It will look great on them without feeling overwhelming.
