My spades are around 80 years old and I wear them to work, I had to have a sole delicately re-glued on one this year and I have owned them for like 15 years! Putting a Topy years ago prevented any sole damage.
It arrived today and a beautiful hat. Had a preformed 40s style bash I quite liked because I'm not good with a very high crown. Fit was great too. Def you would need a 60 if you're a small 60/big 59. In any case they are not making them anymore for some reason.
I just bought the last Deluxe Campdraft 61 from the Hattery. It had a bash so was like floor stock. No mention of a size 60. A size 61 in FED4 is like a generous 60. I am 23.5. Even my regular green Campdraft 61 is a firmish fit with a little sponge.
