Took out my Resistol CattleKing 5X in 094 Palomino Sz 7 purchased new in 1982 from Wells Boot Center Hurst TX for $75 & it''s fitting but coming in also under 22 circumference so about 21 7/8 in circum. I'm a 7 especially if the 7 has shrank a bit. I have to steam the brim down in the front. Bought this hat about a year ago & never really worked on it. It's a 4 inch brim.

I can wear a full 6 7/8 but getting that size is a gamble as it will be tight is it's shrunk so guess I'm going to call myself a 7.

Wearing the CattleKing & the crown is really high. Feels too high for my under 5 foot petite frame. Well, now I''m 5'3 :cool::D

Update: Comparison with 6 7/8 LO
Also took out my Resistol Tycoon 3X in Granite 6 7/8 Long Oval. Fits good & comes in about 21 7/8 inch circum.

Trying to see what I have that works for me & figure out what size I really am which is a 6 7/8 LO if it's not shrunk but hats shrink.
