Hat sizing is notoriously inconsistent.
Chances are if you return your 7 1/8 and exchange it for a 7 1/4, the replacement hat will be too large. The whole industry seems to treat hat sizing as some kind of random lottery.
This is why I will not order plate hats on-line unless I have absolutely no other option.
Base hats, where the sizing is not so critical, I will order on-line, especially if they have the flex-size construction.
This issue is not new for ASA Official Gear, I guarantee you. In fact, my guess would be it is so common that they can't afford to pay for return shipping!
