If you have access to USA Ebay, there seems to be a large number of Boaters floating around. You might look for a 7 1/8 if you are a smaller 58. If they won't ship internationally, send me a PM and I can get it to you. I do it all the time for your neighbor Stefan Steur in Volendam.Good evening,
I really would like to be part of the Boater Faction, so I am looking for a boater. But living in the Netherlands, it is hard to find one here. Actually, any kind of hat of decent quality is hard to find here... But well, thankfully we have the internet now...
I set my mind on two options now. One is a Steton, the other an Olney.

Now my question is: which one of the two is the better option to choose? I'm leaning forward to the Olney, it has a leather sweatband, what make it a big plus for me. And also, what size to choose? My size is a bit under 58. At the shop that sells the Olney they advice to choose a size smaller. The Stetson only come in s, m, l, xl. (m= 56-57, l= 58-59)
So, what would be the best choice?
Thanks,
Sander
