I wear 6-7/8 but the closest they had was a 7 on the eBay specials, and it was still too loose after jocking (in fact I noticed no difference in fit - just crown size), so I had to stitch the gap closed and re-attach the ribbons. Can you estimate how much shrinkage there was in the fit? If you did it over again, would you have ordered a size up from your actual measurement? I guess the real answer here should be "your mileage may vary"!
