      What is the size range of these hats? I know they are adjustable, but most adjustable caps are too small for my melon, even at their loosest adjustment. I can get them on, but they don't look or feel good.

      For fitted hats, I can wear a size 7 3/4 and have it look and feel good, if that helps at all. Will these fit me OK?

        From my observations, Haraki-San has a rather large head as well and a whole lot of hair. I am typically 7 3/8 or 7 1/2 and would assume this should be fine for me. I think you should be okay but some information on measurements would be great! Sure G will take care of it once they arrive…

            Thanks Landon! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the size range when you get yours.

            Giles, any thoughts on the size range on the ones that arrived?

                I have a big head, and these are way to large for me, and because the denim is so stiff when I cinch it in with the strap, I get an unsightly crease in the denim. Personally, I think it is time to forget hats.

                  So did you recieve just a sample or a whole order?
                  I always thought I was cursed with a big head (between 7 3/4 and 8 is my size) and usually can't find hats big enough…

                            Giles, I'm about the same size as Katsushin, maybe only slightly smaller. Could I get one to try on as well?

                                        My fitted hat size is 7 3/4 (give or take) for reference.

                                            Well first off, I have to say that I like the hat very much and it fits very well.
                                            It is definitely a bit different than I thought.  It's pretty "organic".  Super soft and flexible.  Almost home made feeling…
                                            The bill seems to be two pieces of denim sewn together with a thin soft foam piece in between, not rigid at all, though it will retain its shape well.  Under the inner flap all of the rough fabric ends and stray thread is visible.  It is covered up by a loose lining but a little bit of a strange departure from the strict attention to detail I've seen in other IH gear.  (I'll put up some pics asap).
                                            I can't say I would have minded the red W or small IH patch on the outside (or some sort of selvedge detail on the inside), but not the end of the world.  It is really nice to have that beautiful denim encasing your head. All in all, I love the fit and feel but was a bit perplexed by all the ragged fabric ends on the inside.  I have no idea at all what it takes to make a hat though, so I can't judge...
                                            My initial impression is that this will appeal to the serious denim lover, although it doesn't have a traditional baseball hat feel (much softer and more pliable).
                                            Detail pics tomorrow...
                                            P.S.  Hey Giles, just curious...Is this the denim from the 634S or 634?
