You are so right! I think that hat was almost heading to our home a while back, maybe? If it is a 7 3/8 or 7 1/2, but then hard to say if it is the same exact hat was offered on eBay a year or so ago. But yes that model Stetson is not easy to find. I think maybe Alan has one???? Of course he has may hats to "die for"....

Yes, the smaller size kept the interest low. I thought about bidding on it just to get the case and then selling the hat to recover the cost.
But I came to my senses....

Those 100s are very generously sized! I'd probably trade my size 7 for 6 7/8 of the same condition if I could.
I just got this olive green Champ off the bay. Two people asked for a brim measurement and twice the seller answered that it was 2 1/2 inches.
Well, the brim is between 2 1/8 and 2 1/4. What would you do? It's a nice hat. Am I nitpicking?

Well, I guess that's up to you. Personally, if I was happy with the hat, I'd likely keep it. If it really did show up as a stingy (2" or under), yeah, I'd complain. But if it was a nice hat at a good price, I'd likely just live with it.
Maybe you could get them to refund a few $$ for the missing inches.

Spudman, if there is a mistake in the listing You do have grounds to return it. It is a nice hat though.

That's the dilemma. It's a nice hat, but I'd bid less for the smaller brim. I'll probably keep it but let this be a warning to others. When they say 2 1/2 inches is the brim size (twice), ask them to use a ruler.
Or show a photo with a ruler.
Steam or iron the brim down a bit flatter, it will give you the look of more brim. Really nice looking Fedora, I think you should keep....That's the dilemma.

There are many different valid answers to this question.
Me? I would definitely keep it, as my preferred brim range is 2 to 2 1/2 inches, and I still have not found a nicely shaped (to me) crown in the, wouldn't ya guess, 2 1/8 to 2 1/4" range. That hat would have been a windfall for me.
What size is it? Maybe I'll take it off your hands if you really don't want it.
