Help! Large hats for large heads!

35 replies

StitchingMoss · 02/07/2019 20:57

I desperately need a sun hat for a hot holiday this year! I've never bothered before because my head is so huge I can't get one to fit, but recently had a cancer scare so need to take things seriously.

My head is 24cm or 61 inches. All the ones I've found that I like don't go up to my size and the ones in my size look like they're designed for men Sad

Any ideas?

I have a men's hat that I wear - and I do get compliments on it cause it's floral with pinks, greens, etc.

Can't see anything quite as pretty but what about something like:

The Tilley hat is gorgeous and seems to last!

Will look at ASOS Smile

I don't mind the top of my head out of the visor - my head gets very hot in a hat in summer so the broad brimmed visor is cool and offers plenty of shade on my face.

Fellow large headed people. I have never had any luck with one size fits all hats. And don't get me started on hoods that assume you have a head the size of a grapefruit. I have to buy men's hats and lose out on lots of prettier options in favour of the crocodile hunter look.

@StitchingMoss I've started a thread on this today too.

I'm so glad to find my giant headed people!

Also slight username co-incidence too.

I buy men’s sunhats too. From Tesco’s or somewhere like that - I’m not bothered how it looks. My DD has a big head too! Smile she has always worn a hat the size of two bigger. She’s 8 now and wears ladies size hats!

Gara GrinGrin my child's the same but still just about in kids sizes! 4 years older than current age mind you.

Hello @WeedsAndMoss! It would appear there are a lot of us around Grin.
