Measurements are critical when never doing one before, it's best you make one out of an old sheet or towel to become familiar with sizing and sewing. Most large mediums will do a Trooper hat with fur outside, if you block it well enough, but it would be better to have large one. Two large will do fur inside and out easy enough once blocked ! Most hats I do, I never put fur on the inside of the crown, its just to hot and uncomfortable to wear for most people. I will put a nice light weight wool liner or felt though so there is no leather contact. Good luck !! Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

Not to mention if you don’t remove the guard hair. -Goofy
