Let me tell you, finding a hat that actually fits and looks good when you have a larger head is a real struggle. For years, I've dealt with hats that are either too tight, sit awkwardly, or just plain don't fit at all. It's frustrating, especially when you see stylish hats everywhere and know they just won't work for you. My journey to find the perfect hat has been long, but I've finally found some solutions that I want to share with anyone else facing the same problem.
For a long time, every hat-shopping trip ended in disappointment. Standard-sized hats always felt like they were squeezing my head, leaving uncomfortable marks. Baseball caps perched precariously on top, beanies slid off constantly, and anything even remotely fashionable just looked ridiculous. I started to think I was destined to be hat-less forever. I even started measuring my head circumference, hoping to find some magic number that would unlock the secret to finding properly sized headwear.
After much trial and error, and some helpful tips from others, I began to discover a few brands and styles that actually worked for my larger head. Here are a few that I've had good experiences with:
I tried out '47 brand hats, and I was pleasantly surprised. They seemed to have a little more room than some other brands. Gramicci was another brand that fit well. These are good options for casual, everyday wear.
I came across a Quaker Marine Supply cap, and I liked the fit. It felt a bit bigger than average, and the longer brim seemed to balance out my features. It's a great option for a classic, nautical look.
I stumbled upon OddJob, and they seem to specialize in hats for larger heads. They even offer blanks of their designs, which is something I really appreciate. Their unstructured flat bills have become my go-to. The option for blanks is really useful if you want to customize your hat.
I also tried a Man-tle deep cap. The deep fit was exactly what I needed, providing more coverage and a more comfortable feel. It's a bit of a streetwear vibe, but it works well.
While browsing on SSENSE, I noticed that Jacquemus bucket hats came in various sizes. This was a game-changer! Finally, a fashionable hat that wasn't one-size-fits-all (and therefore, didn't fit me). It's worth checking out designer brands that offer different sizing options.
During my search, I also wanted to find a nice, warm beanie for the winter. I needed something comfortable and stylish. That's when I found the WholeCustomDesign Design Hats, and it changed everything. I was looking for something specific – a comfortable, warm beanie that didn't look like it was strangling my head. This beanie fit the bill perfectly.
It was the "Autumn Knit Cap Beanies for Women Men New Cute Crochet Knitted Beanie Hat Winter Warm Skullies Ski Caps Casual Bonnet Hats 2019 Light grey Cap". It might be a mouthful, but it's exactly what I wanted. I love the relaxed fit. It doesn't squeeze my head, and it's super warm and cozy. I found it through WholeCustomDesign, and I highly recommend checking out their selection. Their hats are great quality, and they seem to understand that not everyone has the same head size.
