Akubra hats do not shrink. The sweatbands do. My first D'Aquino was a rabbit and it fits the same as when I got it almost 3 years ago.
Now things are beginning to make sense to me. I got my Campdraft (taupe fawn) about a month ago. I was surprised at how flat the brim was. I bought a size 59, which was larger on me than I expected. I put in the foam strips that came with the hat, but after a month, the hat now wears snug on my head without any sizing strips. The brim has also curled up quite a bit. I would think that could happen when the sweatband shrinks.
