The Stedson Temple I bought is a 7/18, a 57. It's a little small on me but the hatter said it would stretch to fit me perfect but I'm not so sure. the 58 just fell on my head without any grab at all, the hatter said I was inbetween sizes. Will it stretch as he said or should I go get the 58 and shrink it down with water and a lamp? Any advice would be great.

Shrink or stretch?

hat
I would get the 58 and just wear it on hot day's ( sweat in it). It should form to the shape of your head. This should work better than water.
I wear a 58 and it's just a tiny bit to big but if I follow the above, it forms to my head just right. I think stretching a 57 would make the hat tapper a bit.

I looked and I don't believe it's leather. All I know is that I don't see how this band will stretch to fit me head this much. I'm going to take it back tomorrow and get a 58 instead. Also, is rebashing it going to be a pain or no?
