Sorry to raise the same old topic, but I'm about to place an order with PB for a Raiders hat.
Can anyone who owns a PB recommend, in light of their experience, what sort of specifications produce the best result.
I've heard the real raiders hat had a brim size of 2 3/4" front and back, with 2 5/8" on the sides.
However, I believe the sides at 2 5/8 could be a little narrow, as I already have an Akubra San Juan at 2 1/2" which is too small. I can't believe an extra 1/8" will make much difference, and it sure looks bigger in the film. Perhaps I should go for a non-dimensional brim at 2 3/4"?

Also, as I'm only 5' 8", I suspect a 5 1/2" crown could be too big for me.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as this hat is costing me nearly $450 Australian dollars, and it's a once in a lifetime purchase.

John
