According to this web site <a href="http://www.hatsuk.com/hatsuk/hatsukhtml/bible/hatsize.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.hatsuk.com/hatsuk/h.....atsize.htm</a><br /> this measurement is average female head circumference measurement. So I've gone from being Diva head - to average. By the same token I do wonder why my head seems to fit L/XL men's hats. I should be a medium with a hat size of 7 1/8.<br /> Seems to be much disparity amongst the manufacturers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728794 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 13:45:29 +0000 Suz 728794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!!! They're so great!!! Wowza, that was clever shopping. </p> <p>I have a big head, too, and I had never thought of trying men's hats; clearly I need to do that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728787 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 13:38:05 +0000 Anonymous 728787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the black and white one one you, for the color and the size. The black one looks a little smaller but maybe it's just the picture. The good thing about this is that the men's hats, in addition to not being cutesy, are probably better made and not as "throwaway fashion" as women's hats might be. I think hats really suit your face and style. Even with the glasses! Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728738 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 06:33:10 +0000 anne 728738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I REALLY like both of these on you - they look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728685 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 04:09:28 +0000 Beth Ann 728685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is fabulous on you! You have a Diva head! Seriously, singers have notoriously big noggins. I like to think we have bigger brains, too, but that's probably a stretch. </p> <p>The proportions and fit are spot-on, which is essential, if you don't really want to look like a poor imitation of a man! Very skilled styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728620 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 02:03:10 +0000 L'Abeille 728620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merwoman both of those are perfect and look stunning on you! Wear them with confidence and pride.</p> <p> DH just isn't used to seeing you with a hat, I think. </p> <p> Wish I'd thought of the Bay! Ours just closed forever at the start of this month. I've had good luck with men's hats from Zeller's believe it or not, and found a $5 man's fedora at H &amp; M that my son and I share/fight over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728579 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 01:34:42 +0000 merwoman 728579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the positive feedback - good to know I am not alone with having a hard to fit nogin. Alldogs1 - appreciate your comments re specs and glasses - I think having the right size hat (and shape) has made a big difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728510 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 00:11:54 +0000 bj1111 728510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the lids are great. i had previously thought of these types of hats as being very young, but you have shown me how to make them age appropriate. they really complement your face shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728456 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 23:16:34 +0000 Anonymous 728456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merwoman, I love them on you! I have a big head too (hat size 7 5/8/XL), so I wear mens' hats too. Frankly, I prefer mens' hats because they don't look cutesy (but I've seen some adorable womens' hats too!)</p> <p>P.S. I just re-read your post &amp; saw that you'd felt most hats don't look right with your specs. You look great in hats &amp; glasses!</p> <p>Megan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728445 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 23:03:04 +0000 jen 728445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hat really suit you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728442 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 23:01:04 +0000 Caro in Oz 728442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them on you &amp; thank you for the idea of trying mens' hats - I have a big head too lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728409 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:30:06 +0000 Anonymous 728409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these on you, Merwoman!

Unfortunately, their prices are too good and my closet is too full. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiding-the-mens-wear-department#post-728298 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 20:08:39 +0000 merwoman 728298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been searching forever for a hat. While I have a small face, I seem to have a big cranium. Most hats don't fit - and those that do don't look right (to my eye) because of my specs.<br /> While sprinting through the mens section at the Bay (heading for the Clinique bonus) I spotted some great hats. I paused to try them on...and I thought the results were not bad. Of course I didn't purchase...I needed to think about it. Well the next night I saw that The Bay was putting their men's accessories on for 25%, and then if you used your Bay card you received a further 15% off.<br /> I took it as a sign. I picked up two hats yesterday - the black one was 12.00 and is a tad small - it is a size s/m. The b/w hat was 20.00 and I think it fits perfect - it is a L/XL.<br /> Now my darling merman thought these hats were for a prank that I needed a costume for - he thinks they are way over the top. Am not totally surprised at his reaction - but maybe I need a reality check - what say you my dear YFLers? </p>
