Sun hat for a large head!

[ChildDLA]

Hi
Does anyone know where I can get a sun hat for a large head? Normal hats don't fit me at all 😭 and I need one for summer hols. I had to wear an awful mens bucket hat last time as it was the only one I could find to fit.

Budget around £30-£40 ish if possible.

Many thanks!

I would agree. If they’re still not big enough a milliner's trick would be to moisten the bit where the crown drops down to the brim (works on straws) with a plant spray and stretch it over your noggin. Take out the petersham sweatband first and reattach. The plainer the hat the better: you can always trim to taste afterwards. Slow and steady should do the job.

Got this and a beige version in H&M and fits my planet head. Cut off the strings though. It is really comfortable and not terribly ugly ...although a very elderly lady did admire it which questions my taste...better than sun cancer

Size large is only a 58 though, that's a 7¹/⁸ not very big at all. I need a 62 so no chance of these fitting.

Thanks to @SallyWD suggesting Decathlon, I am now the proud owner of this:

Only worn in the garden so far but I'm very pleased with it. I got the large size (60-62cm) and it fits my head easily (I think I'm 59cm or 60cm). I could even wear it with a pony tail (the crown is flexible and slightly stretchy and accommodated the bobbly bit of the ponytail). It's extremely lightweight and would pack flat. It's not so 'outdoorsy' that I'd only wear it in the garden or hiking - I'd be happy to wear it in an urban environment. And it's only £12.

I also have one of the rollable straw visors which I've used a few times and like that too, although you have to be careful if a breeze catches it!

I got one a men's large one in M&S a few years back. Not sure what the style is called but it's good quality, not horrendous looking and was just under £20. They had quite a few styles and colours too.
