i'm 6'5" tall, and my head is large. it looks like it could topple me, in fact, because i am thin.

All this talk of large head sizes, and of hats in general, it warms my heart.

It's right up there with when I found out chronic masturbation is a good preventative against prostate cancer...

My head is large. Friends have pointed this out to me for years. However! A couple of years ago, there was a head-measuring, and of the three people in the room with big heads, mine was actually the smallest...

A couple of thoughts:

1) I like the idea of a hat, but I'm not sure I can pull it off... I knew a guy in college who wore a Fedora, but he was sort of pretending to be Frank Sinatra. It seemed insincere, and I'm speaking as a man who once used a cigarette holder for a time, a few years ago. I blame JFK for popularizing hat-less-ness. But I think the current/next generation will gravitate towards brimmed hats as we drift into our Golden Years. Our parents did not do this...

2) OK. I have a big head. But I can usually find a large hat that fits me... What I can NEVER find is a pair of sunglasses that fits comfortably on my enormous face. Do any of you large-domed men have a similar problem? I mean, it's serious: I buy approximately one pair of sunglasses every two or three years -- and I buy any and every pair that fits on my head. What to do? Are there specialty stores for such things?

Thanks. And Happy New Year to one and all.


Best,

I also have a hard time finding sunglasses. I can never find a pair that fits 'off the rack'. So I go to Pearl Vision (or something similar) for frames and have them put in non-prescription lenses. It can be expensive, but I can always find a pair that fits well, and they can do some minor adjustments for you.

I used ta wear fitted baseball caps all the time.
7 5/8"
Now I don't wear any hats.

My neck feels comfortable in an 18 or 18.5" collar, but it depends on the material. Also, if I lost some weight, I could do a smaller size.

anyone remember matt from hats plus, the tall oi guy that worked there?

I got my fedora from burlington coat factory for 8$.

I happen to know that Steve buys his hats online from the headwear division of American Sartorial Supply.

That's ASS-Hat.com.

You can cry on my shoulder sir, as I share your pain. I'm 6'5" (I just found out from a recent physical that I grew another inch. What the fuck!? I'm 24!) and my head is elephant-man large. I have not been able to own a suitable pair of sunglasses since I was 16.
