Akubra Overload

6.75 + 8 = 14.75/2 = 7.375
Size 7-3/8
I wore it with my hair up to add some padding in back. Kind of nice to have one if you want to wear a hair accessory under the hat I guess unintentional but it's such a nice hat.

I found one with dimensions closer to my hat size.

Looks like 6.25 X 7.5 inch = 13.75 so a small 7/56?

Using your inside width & length measurements with an ellipse calculator produces a circumference of 23.23”, which puts the hat @ size 7-3/8.

The 6.75 X 8 was another hat I was looking at. I've remeasured this one & the actual width is closer to 6.5 as its narrower in the middle of the hat band then the opening.

6.5+8 + 14.5 so it's a 7 1/4 or 58 equiv which is quite a bit larger than a 6 7/8 - 7! Ouch!!!
If my hair was really thick like it used to be it would fit better...LOL

Really is an unusually long oval hat for an Akubra.
