You'll have to wait to get it before that question can be answered. Given the apparent age and style of the hat, I'm guessing a 5 1/2" open crown, meaning you'll have something to play with. You can always go low - it's getting that high crown that can be a challenge.
Yeah you are right. I am really excited about this one.

This is the Cavanagh Homburg I picked up from NewJack via ebay. At 7-3/8 LO it fits like perfectly... not that all 7-3/8 LO hats fit me. It's been hit or miss until now.

Hi gentleman. One more question about the fedora. That 5 1/2" open crown sounds right. The listing had the brim at 3 3/4". I think this was a typo and the brim is really 2 3/4" or there abouts. But maybe the seller has it right and this is going to be one shady brim. Would 2 3/4" be about right for this era and crown height? This will be the widest brimmed hat I own outside of my two westerns.

No chance that is 3 3/4
2 3/4 I'm sure it was a typo
