Newbie itching to buy his first hat -- Somebody stop me!

[Ugarte]

I measure 24 inches exactly. I also have 2 boonies and the sizing is horribly inaccurate for those things.:eusa_doh:

But the tale of the tape in my case is 23. At 24 you are a size 60 (7 1/2), correct? Though it seems your profile lists you as 7 5/8. I often wonder just how much "wiggle room" there is in these matters.

I should also mention that this is a really cheap boonie as well.

Hi there Ricardo. Yes I get the "12-step" reference to Alcoholics Anonymous. It seems most appropriate*

1. We are powerless to our attraction to classy headwear.

2. A fedora greater than our last purchase will restore us to sanity.

3. We have turned our lives over to haberdashery as we understand haberdashery.

4. We have made a searching and fearless inventory of our closets and our hatboxes.

5. Admitted to our haberdasher, to ourselves and to another hat wearer the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have Akubra, Stetson, Resistol, Cavenaugh, et. al. remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked TheFedoraLounge.com to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had not tipped our lid to, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others, or force us into a hat that isn't actually our size.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were short a hat style or color, promptly admitted it (and prepared to make a purchase).

11. Sought through retail and barter to improve our modest collection of hats, asking only for knowledge of appropriate size, color and style, and a credit card limit to carry it out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other well-dressed addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Sweet mother of almighty Zeus!

Are you telling me that there are hats in all of those boxes?

[jamespowers]
