I've bought a few bucket hats with the one size fits all and larger size but it's becoming apparent that I have a large head 🤣 they all fit far to tight. Does anyone with a big head have a suggestion

Maybe tie a ribbon on the handles as a chin strap, this could work

Helicon tex,Summer Combat..7and a half,sized..has detachable rear sun,neck flap to stop neck or ears burning,essential if you work outside like I do..

Got mine from Heinie Haynes..ages ago,

(Ears and Neck,are very prone skin cancer areas)...

They do a bigger one than the one I have as well,I suffer with excess knowledge and brain size,so need a very big hat...

Have a look at a North face one. Like yourself I'm blessed with a brain the size of a planet and have always struggled with head wear trying to find a fit that don't feel like a tubey grip bandage one me nogging. But even the the North face bucket hat i have is big on me.

I'm in the same boat mate, big head syndrome lol

I got a Fortis one last week which fits a treat. Although I tried a few and some were too small. Not sure if they do different sizes or I found an 'off' one that was a bit larger.

I'm also a member of “Le Grosse Tête” club.

I have nothing to add to this thread. Just felt the need share my affliction.

Christmas cracker hats - don't even go there

Measure your head

OMC pb hat fits up to 58cm (cue the AH haters getting all triggered )

58cm is not big. I take a 60cm hat. I don't have a freakishly large head either.

Get the hat you normally wear and run it over the spout of the kettle for a bit and fit to your head. This stretches the fibres or something. O have a monster melon too and this has helped on an old Fortis hat I have
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
