Want to order a Fed IV...questions

Waiting for the shrinkage

I spoke with the folks at Hats Direct before ordering my Fed IV, because I'd had some sizing issues with other hats. Specifically, I have a rather nice Stetson fedora, size 61, that fits well to a tad tight. I also have a newer Resistol cowboy hat that, after an exchange, I brought down to 60 and it's still loose. It's confusing to me, as they're made by the same company, but oh well.

Hats Direct recommended I stick with the 60 for the Fed IV. It's large on my head, mostly on the sides, so I've used the supplied foam inserts to make it snug. I can tell the band's started shrinking, but it needs to go some more before I can take the padding out.
