Hey, Dave! I'm back with another question.

I've decided to get the Akubra Flinders in heritage fawn. I measured my head, and it comes up as being a near-exact size 59 (23 inches). But I'm a bit worried about shrinkage. Should I go up a size, adding half an inch to the circumference of the hat band? Are Akubras known to shrink once exposed to certain weather conditions?

Thanks.

@antagonist42 Thank you for your inquiry. I think your best bet is to put a note with your order saying you'd like a larger 59 as you measure right at 23. Even if you don't heat 'em when they are wet, the tendency is to shrink rather than grow but the variance per size as we get them is as relevant. We'll trade it around for you if it doesn't fit just right! - will

You guys need to do a vid on the Akubra Adventurer.

There are no vids on this hat on YT.
