Hey Mike,
I do post at the CAS forums on occasion Black hat is a 5" brim and a 5.5" crown. New ash colored one is a store bought, 4.5" brim and a 6" crown. The store mis-shipped me. It was suppose to be a 5" brim and a 6" crown. The correct hat should be here Tuesday Hat in my avatar is a round dome, 5" open crown and a 5" brim. So the crown looks shorter than it is. I'm 6'1" 200#. Once you start wearing 6" and 7 " brims in the straw hats and felt sombreros a 5" brim seems tiny. But a 4.5" brim makes a lot more sense if you are getting in and out of a truck. As does a crown under 6".
Both sides of the family homesteaded in Norman and Duncan in the land rush days. So suspect you know why I typically wear open crown hats

Always enjoy seeing your hats. It is interesting you mention brim width and getting in and out of the truck, I prefer wide brims here in Florida, but have been moving towards smaller brims when out because I hate not being able to sit normally and I dont like setting my hat down in the truck if it is full.
