: Someone please tell me which is correct, if any.
: On the Indygear fedora page
: (http://www.indygear.com/gear/fedora.shtml) the specs are as
: follows:

: Brim (front & back): 2 ¾ (2.75) inches
: Brim (sides): 2 5/8 (2.625) inches

: but Patterson says on the dimension cut page
: (http://www.indygear.com/gear/akubra.htm) that the specs are:

: brim front and back: 2 7/8 inches
: brim sides: 2 ¾ inches

:
: They both say that the crown is 5.5 inches high, but which brim
: specs are more correct, if any?

: thanks

: -IS

I would at least start with these specs. You can see how you like it and cut or sand the brim down more if you need to. Be careful tweaking though, or you'll wind up with a graml favorite, the porkpie.
Cheers,
Dakota
