Big Hats for Big Heads

[CaliWoodsman]

The good Lord blessed me with massive brain power and capacity (or so I tell my wife), but had to use an XL cranium to fit all that gray matter into. One issue with my 7 3/4 hat-sized head is that finding hats to wear is difficult. Most companies use the Richardson 112 Trucker Hat in the One Size Fits Most size, which 7 3/4 is on the extreme upper end. For me, that typically means I'm on the very last snap on the back which doesn't make for a great fit. Every now and then, I'll find a hat that fits great, with a few extra snaps to spare, but they're few and far between. I do enjoy repping hats from outdoor brands that I use and support.

So, my fellow large headed dudes (hat sizes less than 7 3/4 need not apply) - what baseball/trucker style hats have you found from outdoor companies that fit?

I'm always searching for a new hat so I want to keep an eye here to find some more 7 3/4 hats that actually fit!

I too have a large head, the flexfit 110s work well as well as the Richardson pts30s in xl

These are the bomb in my opinion but you'll have to sew your own patches on.

I wear a 7 3/4 or 7 7/8 and don’t have any issues with the following
- first lite trucker
- kuiu icon
- stormy kromer makes sized hats
- outdoor research sun runner

Size 8 big dome bro checking in here... Not outdoors specific but Melin makes an XL in some styles that is actually XL and fits 7 ¾” - 8 ¼”. Pricey though.

I feel ya. Same issues here. I try to stay away from “one size fits all” hats and look for hats with actual sizes like: s,m,l, xl. Some of the Kuiu flex fit hats have a l/xl size which works great.

Mammoth might be worth looking into as well

Mammoth hats as mentioned. They have a variety of styles
I have a mesh snap back for warm weather and a wool snap back for a little warmth. They make beanies and such also. 7 7/8 noggin here. Also stormy kromer makes up to 8 I think. Have to usually order them that size tho.

Big head here too. Always in the last snap or two.
Cant help with the brands, I just have to try them on first.

The Sitka dry fit/traverse hats fit better than anything I’ve found. Even when I find a hat that fits, they usually always have that weird hump in the front (the traverse does not)

 

[CaliWoodsman]

Alright, I've got a Mammoth hat on the way. Excited to see how this fits!

 

[Jack84]

I like the Kuiu flex fit l/xl and then got a cheap hat stretcher off Amazon to make them bigger.

$50 for a cap is absolutely absurd!

I have a pumpkin head too, order a couple hats from these guys every few years.

I too have trouble finding good fitting performance hats that fit well, If you like their styling GoHunt has a few good options. I have a large ish head (prob 7-1/2 if i remember fitted hat days well) and i got a couple of their performance hats this year.

The Hydra hat was massive and i actually sent them back, just too much volume for my liking but a sweet hat for sure.

The Softie hats are awesome and basically seem indestructible and dont keep their form, i have that one maybe 1/2 to 2/4 adjusted so it has room to grow for you; i highly recommend this hat, im going to get more.

Also bought a performance hat from a company called Branded Bills; we will see how that fits.

Lidz makes fitted caps in size 8. It's what I use.

But for hunts in sunny weather, I use a Tilley brand hat.
