    Thanks davedove. As long as it'll fit over my head, I am good. I haven't actually measured my head... but I should be fine! It isn't giant or anything.

    Lovat Green Balmoral

    Andrew,

    In February of this year I bought a Lovat Green Balmoral from this website
    http://www.scotyard.com

    It cost $41.00 plus $11.00 shipping.

    It has a black ribbon band around the headband and a black ribbon cockade.

    I think the Balmoral looks nice and I wear it often in cooler weather.

    It might look nice if you have the Lovat Green tweed jacket. (Which is high on my want list.)

    There are some pictures at my yahoo site below.

    Ok, so just how DOES one measure one's head for a hat?? How does it translate? If I'm a 7 3/8 I''m quite sure that a tape measure stretched around my head is going to measure more than that. (Or am I nuts?)


    Any thoughts?

    Check this out:

    http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...Page=sizechart

    ...Shall we assume that the circumference of da head is then divided by pi?

    I don't know if that's the way it works but why not?
