I just had a question regarding measuring the hat size.
My noggin is between 22 1/2 and 22 3/4 inches. This leaves me with a size 57 or 58. Since I'm planning to get an AB and want the best out of the custom hat, is there a big difference between a 57 and a 58? Which size would I be safer to get in the long run?

Thanks

I'd go with the bigger size, just in case it shrinks

Since you're getting an AB, there is no need to guess.
Just let him know your measurements. If you order
a Federation to hold you over (like I did)
then it's a different story

I'm the exact same as you (same measurements). I always order a little larger than my normal size (including my AB). This allows it to fit when my hair gets a little long. Plus, my head tends to swell when the weather gets warmer. By getting a little larger hat, it is not tight during the warmer months (which is typically about 10-months of the year here in Texas). To compensate for any wiggle room, I place tenon cork used for clarinets between the sweatband and body. Some place felt between the sweat and body, but I've never liked the feel of it.
