Readers ask: What hats suit big heads?

Some people love wearing a baseball cap, a brimmed hat, or enjoy a bucket hat. You will not need to hide your big head. Our hats are made proportionally bigger and will actually make your head size look more “normal” than wearing a small hat that doesn’t fit and will actually make your head look bigger.

How do you make a hat fit a big head?

Steps

Heat up the tea kettle or pot of water until the water begins to boil.

Hold the hat’s brim to get a good grip.

Remove the hat from the heat for 30 seconds.

Turn on the hairdryer to its highest setting.

Once it’s mildly damp, wear the hat and let it air dry to stretch into the right size for your head.

How do you know if a hat fits your head?

The hat should sit comfortably mid-forehead above your eyebrows and not obstruct your view. The sweatband inside the hat should provide a snug fit, not a tight fit. If you feel any tension or end up with deep red marks on your forehead, pick a looser-fitting hat.

Do fitted hats shrink?
