Title: I have a big head.....
Post by: AmbulanceDriver on June 10, 2009, 12:52:55 PM

Seriously, I have a big head.  25 3/8's circumference if I'm remembering correctly.  The problem is that I'm trying to find a hat.  Preferably a boonie/aussie style hat that I can dye red for RSO duties (that is, unless I can find one in red already).  Anyone have any suggestions?

(and please, let's avoid the orange on a toothpick jokes...  :)  )

That's a seriously "punkin like" head! =D I know how you feel though, I've got one too!

Do you know what your actual hat size is? I was having a hard time finding a boonie hat, but I did manage to find one in size 7 ¾, made by Propper, at BDU.com (http://www.bdu.com/F550221273.html) and it fits me well.

You can also find them in that size at www.opsgear.com, however I can't attest to the fit of their hats.

Sadly, 7 3/4 is a skosh small.  By about an inch in circumference....  7 3/4 = 24 3/8 circumf.

Man, I think you're in for a hard time finding any type of "fixed" size boonie. I have a tough time finding hats to fit my gourd, other than some adjustable ball caps, which I have no desire to wear.

uscav.com has some in 7-7/8.  That's the biggest I've seen.
