Akubra Overload

[ShadowXY]

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.

Well after what seems to have been an eternity (order first placed with EA in December) I eventually have my first Akubra. This is the Tablelands in Brown Olive.
It's marginally big but The Hattery kindly included some foam which once inserted did the trick.
It suits me a whole lot better than the Territory which I tried on.
It took 7 days total elapsed time from their shop to my door in San Diego.

That hat looks great on you. I love the color & think it will bring out the green in my eyes. Just ordered a brown olive Tablelands in SZ 56..l. Excited. Hope the 55 Dover I bought it not too snug.

Thanks I am really happy with it. I just took this photo indoors with natural light through the window. Amazing how the color changes. Doesn't look like the same hat.

Really fallen in love with this color. I gravitate to moon & the lighter but I find that a deep forest green brings out the green in my eyes.
