I measured my head a number of times, as did my wife. The measurement was then sent with the order. The resultant hat was so tight I could hardly get it on. Hence the thought that having my head measured in a shop would be the best way forward. The same hat bought in a shop I could get to, or...
After much careful measuring I purchased one on line from Christy's via Hornet Hats. When delivered it was far too tight. Can someone help? Should I order the next size up, or go to a shop to be measured (before ordering again on line where the prices are about 50% of the shop price!)
I did measure very careful, so too did my wife, before placing the order! I think that I will have to take your advice and go to a shop and be properly measured. Unfortunately I will still have to bear the cost of returning the item. I do still want to "flatten" the brim. Many of the homburgs I...
the hat finally arrived. After waiting more than a month it was too SMALL! I will persevere and get one the right size, i am surprised though by how much the brim curls up. Is there any way I can flatten the brim or substantially reduce the curl of the brim without ruining the hat?
How much do I admire that hat. I have a homburg but the brim curls quite markedly at the sides. I note that your brim is almost flat. Is there a way of "flattening" the brim on a homburg?

In order to protect against the very unlikely eventuality of someone else picking up my hat by mistake, where and how is the best place to mark a hat with my own name?
thanks for the link but she was actually talking of something like a man's trllby. Is there anything she should be careful about as a woman buying a mans hat ie what about fit?
Its catching
There is something about hat wearing, without even yet having received my ordered Homburg, and all the support and advice from herein; my wife is now talking about getting herself a hat. Any ideas ?
mine of advice
Just want to say how fortunate I am to have found this site which is a mine of information, support and advice. Still waiting for delivery but now already considering a second purchase!
Still concerned about applying a centre crease though, as the web site shows the hat in...
Despite being a hat virgin, I have decided to take the plunge and purchase a Homburg on line. I am now left with so many questions even before I have received it. Please would someone be kind enough to put me out of my misery.
1. When delivered, how do I best make fine adjustments to the size...
