stretching hats..or..bigger sized hats? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

niSm095 · 04-06-2011, 07:37 PM

so, it's painfully obvious I have a giant head...I've got a few baseball hats (fitted mostly) that I've collected, some of which I'd like to wear. They are all sized 8. As far as I know that's as big as New Era makes them.

As a size 8..they fit probably to just below the crown of my head. The knee thing doesn't work. I always played baseball in school, so I don't really have other sports balls to stretch them on...why the hell is my head so large... Any ideas on what to do?

Shave your head

Don't sweat in it

Watch Beetlejuice and see how they shrunk those dude's heads.

niSm095 · 04-06-2011, 07:45 PM

i don't have much hair...I mean...with my hair my head's probably...8 1/4 or so...

I thought of the Beetlejuice thing...but..then I'd be stuck with a bunch of size 8 hats that are waaaay too big.

demonspeed · 04-06-2011, 08:11 PM

Have you tugged at it? I tug my hats until you hear a SLIGHT rip...they fit perfectly

yvang07 · 04-06-2011, 08:15 PM

you're not alone brosef, Motorcycle helmet = atleast 2XL, and hats atleast 7 7/8s if not 8.

zspeedrft · 04-06-2011, 08:18 PM

damn i thought i had a big head <----7 3/4

Om1kron · 04-06-2011, 08:25 PM

damn how much do you weigh bro there is no way you're not a big boy with a head bigger than 8 inches.

reyes23 · 04-06-2011, 08:54 PM

hahaha^^ just sell em or cut it ?? sucks guess its just not meant to b

KiLLeR2001 · 04-06-2011, 08:56 PM

They make up to 8 1/4 I believe. But good luck finding that size in stores lol. Probably have to order it somewhere online.

beanies are your friend

ZenkiKid · 04-07-2011, 12:03 AM

I wear a size 8 too.. I just have a huge skull. I mean the plus is that most of the time the hats they have on sale at like lids or whatever are 8s so I can get my hats for cheap.

niSm095 · 04-07-2011, 01:57 PM

At least I'm not alone in this..sheeit...I'm with this guy though ^^ my favorite teams hats I end up getting for really cheap because they're on clearance.

6'6'', 300lbs. definitely not small. size 16 shoe too...imagine the fun with finding shoes that AREN'T for basketball...

*exitspeed* · 04-07-2011, 02:23 PM

I have a small head and most hats look stupid on me...So I just have cool hair.

silviaguy240 · 04-07-2011, 02:26 PM

granted they might be special made for Big Black, but i remember seeing pictures and shit from Rob and Big, but i swear the stickers on his new era's said 8 1/2.

stiizy · 04-07-2011, 02:40 PM

dude snapback are back in now you should get some, or if not a fitted get the flexy-fit hats. i'm a 7 or 7 1/8 so no need to sweat it but look into snapbacks

Me 2. 6 7/8 is still a little too big! My friends always joke around, telling me to buy my hats at kids foot locker!!

niSm095 · 04-07-2011, 07:48 PM

that doesn't help my issue. But if possible I'd give you some of the girth of my head.

I did just say that.

s13poop · 04-08-2011, 11:45 AM

buy a size 8 fitted and don't sweat in it as stated before

keep it out of hot places like your car or bedroom where sunlight comes in heat causes shrinking and what not

and if you feel it getting tighter lift your leg up (while standing) place the hat over your knee cap (hat bill facing you) and tug lightly until you hear a rip or stretching sound it usually works for me when my 7 1/2's are feeling too snug

and if you need to order online i think hatland has 8 1/2's sizes not too much of a selection tho but its a start!
