Some hat questions....

I've read several hat threads, but havent come across these 2 questions.

First, sizing. I've read in various threads that the fedora tends to shrink over time. Would it be wise then to buy the next "size" up, for instance I'm just a bit over 59 cm, should I order the 60 cm to accommodate the shrinkage?

Second, crushable vs stiff. We can see in different parts of the movie how unstiff Indy's hat is, yet some of the higher end hats appear to be stiffened, similar to the DP hats. I have a large DP, and I hate it's tight fit and stiff feel.

I'm looking to replace the low-end DP hat I have now, but I'm not where I can afford something like a Penman just yet.

If I were you I'd go for the next size up. In my experience my fedora has shrunk quite a bit. It doesn't even fit anymore. It's been through a lot though.
