Well just another campdraft here, but it's my first. HatsDirect were great, US Customs on the other hand... well I'll leave it at that. The felt is the stiffest of any hat I've owned to date, lots of pop. I will say for others undecided about sizing and whether to size up due to shrinking, I should have probably sized up. I bought a size 60 and I measure my head at 23 1/4 - 23 3/8 depending on whether I need a hair cut at the time I measure. When the hat arrived it fit perfectly, after wearing for a couple hours it fit snug enough in the front and back that the wind did not blow it off my head, with a little space on the side that if it pushed in allowed the hat to slide down on my head, (I think I may be a long oval). But, After 3 days of ownership wearing a couple hours a day in our mild early Spring weather, the hat now fits tight enough allover to cause a headache after 20 minutes of wearing. So, I think sizing up is probably the best technique and use the foam tape provided to take up any slack.
This one, unfortunately may end up in the Classifieds unless I find a 61 to trade
