: What's the insider plan regarding the sizing of the Federations? Are they koshur now, or are they still sized oddly? I remember when they first came out people got larger hats than they ordered, and were forced to use the lampshade trick to get 'em to fit.
: I usually wear a 7 1/4, and I have an Akubra Bushman in 58. So should a 58 Federation fit me the same way, or will I have to resize it?

I received a Federation from the first batch that Hatsdirect got in. I wear a 7 1/4, and ordered a size 58, which was the same size as my Bushman. (It fit fine) The Federation, although a size 58, was larger than the Bushman 58. Last week, I had in hand, another Federation, and although it was a size 56 (I think), it almost fit me. Taking this into consideration, a size 57 would have fit me like a 7 1/4. This particular Federation, was purchased recently, so this is something to consider. Regards, Fedora
