Giant head hat

9 replies

Why am I the only woman in the world who doesn't seem to fit any kind of attractive sunhat?

I can ram them on my head but when I'm done I have a sweaty, squeezed head and don't feel any better for being sensible and wearing a hat!

Are there other giant headed people out there? I feel so alone. HmmConfused

Try www.hatsandcaps.co.uk. They do hats by size.

I feel your pain! My head is enormous, all hats look ridiculous and even the ‘Large’ size leaves a red mark on my forehead. I can’t offer any solutions, only solidarity.

I have a giant head too (but a tiny brain, must be lots of cushioning in there 🤔) I bought one those straw stetsons abroad and it fits perfectly; maybe forriners, although smaller in stature have a different head to body ratio?

I'm so glad there are other large of head out there! I spend so summer just looking a bit sweaty and uncomfortable and then this hat thing is a literal pain in the ... head!

Thank you @BambooWhoosh. I'm going to bookmark that site, unfortunately no time for this years holiday!

Yes. I use a parasol that I bought at a boho clothes fair instead of a sunhat.

Me me! I am giant of head and have always been so disappointed that I couldn’t look and feel cool in a summer hat.
Last year I bought an ‘Ambassador Hat’ from the men’s department at M&S. Even then I had to get a large size! I always get compliments when I wear it now and, most importantly, it is a comfortable fit.
This is similar. Not bad at £25 and there are other styles that are also quite nice and not too ‘manly’.

Wow!! These are my people. SmileI've that I'm not alone in this.

I am from a family of tiny tiny headed people too, which makes my giant head look even more ridiculous! Although my own child seems to have the same problem, currently growing out of sunhats 4 years older than her age Sad

Thank you for the Panama hat link, I should be able to get to an M&S!
