: I'll be ordering the Peters Brothers hat in the near future, and would appreciate any pointers that the fedora mavens can give me so that I don't have to go through frustrating exercises like shipping the hat back and forth halfway across the country.
: I'm looking to own a "Cairo" style hat, tall, razor-sharp creases and all. Do I have to give them specific instructions regarding the dimensional-cut brim, the height of the crown, etc., or do they have a good handle on that stuff already? And if I do have to give them hints, what specifically should I ask for?
: I have a pretty regular face, I'm average height (5'10"), average weight (about 165-170 lbs.), average coloring (I'm just your average white guy, I guess) and I wear about a 7-1/4 hat.
: What do you think?
: Thanks for all your help.
