This brings up another question. It would seem to me, that to keep the same proportion, the diameter of the hat would have to increase with the diameter of the head. But your information would seem to disagree.
Here is another example of a "TOS" From Diane @ Russet Lodge. (she calls this "version a "Jacobite" It is sim. to the one she is making me.


As to the diam changing with the "head size"?? contact Diane
