      So my hat arrived today.
      This is a size medium. A little tighter than I expected. Should I expect a little stretch?

                  Hmmm….do these hats shrink or stretch?  I am at the very edge of just fitting into my IHC 14 & 15 hats, even though my melon head only measure out to around 60 mm.  Should I go with a medium or large in these eng. hats? Thoughts?  Cheers.

                  Looking to buy:
                  IH-812 herringbone overalls size 34
                  IH-815 blue wabash overalls size 34
                  IH-807 hickory striped overalls size 34
                  IH logger pants most styles size 34
                  IH-6526J double corduroy type lll size large

                    I can say they don't shrink much @jadechacko, if anything there's the smallest bit of stretch in them (IHC-10 that is).

                          @Aetas thanks! I will start posting here. I am getting a couple of tattoos on my head today so I won't be able to wear it for a week or so. Any other Work Caps out there in the wild?

                              IH had a few with different appearance and weight:
                              *9.5oz (IHSH-123))
                              *10.5oz (708)
                              *12oz (IHSH-91, …):
                              IMG_8587.jpeg
                              or
                              *17oz (IHG-059, 822, …)

                              But for me, timeline and pictures speak for the
                              12oz of the IHSH-148, because the indigo stripe is a tad wider than the white one here:

                              Cap for comparison:

                                @Aetas awesome detective work. Man I would love some 17oz hickory, or an even heavier version. I think you are correct though, 12oz seems to be the one for the cap.

                                  The cap is 12oz i think.
                                  I own the IH-802. Hickory logger pants. 17oz.
                                  Definitely heavier hickory fabric than the one used for this cap.

                                    It’s my the 91 12oz—that is a distinctly different pattern. It’s like the 107 I think.

                                        I don’t know, @Aetas the 148 came out with a new 12oz (from the forum thread) in 2016. These caps got made in 2012. I still think it’s a batch of 07 fabric. I love your spirit of sleuthing! 🕵️‍♂️

                                          Neat to know past hickory has some wider white stripes compared to wider indigo ones like on this cap. I prefer more indigo, glad it was made with the wider indigo stripes.

                                          I just need to wait for my head and forehead tattoos to heal and I'll be wearing it on the daily!
