Summer hat for a large head

16 replies

EnglishRose1320 · 02/06/2023 23:28

Any recommendations, I'm after a traditional, big floppy summer hat, but I have a large head, with thick hair and everyone I try, just perches on my head, rather than actually fitting.

Any suggestions? I know I could get a practical Tilley hat that will fit, but was hoping for something a little prettier

Was just going to say this. I have a massive head and managed to get one in L in H&M

Tilly's are pretty cool though, and they'll last forever 😄.

I have the same issue, I tell myself it's my well developed brain...

I just bought this www.mountainwarehouse.com/wide-brim-womens-packable-hat-p8345.aspx/Beige
I think I have a big head, but it's a bit stretchy

Next have a good selection of sunhats in M/L size. I’ve just bought a straw one with stripes which fits my large head with thick hair very nicely. Their men’s bucket hats are also worth a look if you want something colourful.

i tried on a ladies crochet bucket hat on in m and s this week and it was surprisingly comfortable on my head. Have since read the reviews and other customers have commented the same. I have the same issue - big head, big hair - and hats are usually uncomfortably tight or don’t fit at all. Makes me feel self conscious about my huge head.
considering it was named a bucket hat it was pretty and had a nice floppy brim.

I have the same problem but bought a panama ( so not quite big floppy hat ) but this company sell hats with a little velcro thing to make then fit better - not cheap but after 10 years of trying to buy off the peg hats I was prepared to pay it for the next 10 or so years - Pachacuti https://www.panamas.co.uk/product-category/women/

Uniqlo straw sun hat was way too big for my head so maybe try that

Thanks for all the suggestions, after another hot day in the sun, I'm going to enjoy checking them all out this evening.
