Hat size poll

[Canadave]

I'm sure we did this before, but I can't find it. I've searched extensively, and apologize if it's been done recently. If so, point me in the direction and pretend this never happened.

Depends on the hat and maker. I've got hats in 3 of the sizes listed that fit me (7 3/8-7 5/8), and two in 7 3/4 that I pad because I love them so. I believe that my true hat size is 7 1/2 slightly l.o., so I'll vote for that.

One for the sevens.

I usually wear a 6 7/8 long oval in American hats. British 6 3/4. Punti 4 or 4 1/2. Old Knox's are tight, so a 7 will sometimes do nicely.

I voted. I'm size 7 or 7 1/8 depending on the hat.

 

[Geesie]

7 3/4 (7 5/8 after a particularly close haircut).

The results seem to be shaping up bimodally... I wonder if that's because of a low sample size or another reason.

I'm 1/2 way between 6 7/8 and 7. I voted 6 7/8, because I prefer to stretch a hat to a snug fit rather than shrink one to a loose fit. But, if I see a nice vintage hat in size 7 that I like I'll gladly nab it.

Either way, I have a great selection on good deals. However, ebay was a lot more fun before Mario and Billysmom showed up!

 

[bolthead]

Yes, we have done this before. [huh]

Hey look, a standard bell curve!

I wear a size 7, but a larger 6 7/8 would probably work, though I've never tried it.

lol I just spit Jack&Coke on my monitor!lol

 

[WideBrimm]

My regular size is 7-1/8. On occasion I can squeeze into a 7. If I really like a 7-1/4 I will pad the sweat band

7 3/8 is fine, 7 3/8 long oval is ideal, sometimes 7 1/2.

 

[Charlie Huang]

I assume this is US hat sizing so that means I'm a 7 (or 6 7/8 UK).

Damn...we`re competing!

If it only were the two of us .... lol

Welp, here's a third one .

 

[Atticus Finch]

I'm a "betweenie". I wear size 7 5/8 in new hats, but when I buy vintage, I look for size 7 3/4.

[High Pockets]

And all along I thought my 7 3/8 head was a large one,......looks like I'm average instead, I like that!

Off the rack I wear a 7 3/8. When I buy ebay hats however, since they all immediately go for a rebuild, anything from 7 1/8 to 1/5/8 fits perfect!

 

[frussell]

Varies

Depending on the brand, I'm usually somewhere between a 7 3/4 long oval and a 7 7/8. I had a hatmaker tell me once that the only true 8 he ever measured was Oprah! Frank
