Right. That's how I'd do it.

I can't say as to what is sold in Australia, but all Squatters sold by US sellers ( of which I belive there are 3) are bought from David Morgan who is the EXCLUSIVE importer for Akubra here in the US and are the Imperial quality and lined and have the chin strap hooks in them. I have asked DM if they take custom orders and they DO NOT though they can crease any of their Open Crown hats ( they cover this in their catalog) . The "grommets" are not an issue with me so I don't even notice them. What you see in DM's catalog is pretty much what you will see available from the other US retailers though Jon Helmer sells a Stylemaster in a Mid - Brown and Green that DM does not but they get them through DM.
No casechopper, you're correct. They are measuring the crown height of the telescope crease. They do the same with the Campdraft, at least on EverythingAustralian. Also, a lot of those sights seem to copy and paste information from the major sellers.
The average measurements for the Squatter are a 3'' brim with a 5.25'' crown. Some may experience variation, but these are the dimensions to which the hat is supposed to be made.
Mine was dimensional before I trimmed it, though the front/back measurement only differed by a couple of millimeters from the side/side measurement. Oh well [huh].
