Hat Help

[Littleone]

Hello fellas! I'm a new face in town, and have enjoyed reading though the posts I'm new to the vintage thing, but I really like the idea and want to start building my wardrobe.

Typically I guess females don't go for the hat look, but I enjoy wearing them, and think I look pretty good in them Last year I got myself a newsboy cap and 'retro' tweed jacket (my guess is 60's ish). The cap is a bit small, so I'm looking for a new hat, and I like the fedora look. I'm way up north in Canada and not near any hat stores that I know of. That leaves ebay. I measued my head the other day and it's 23 1/2 inches around. If I've I've read the right info that puts me at at size 7 3/8 hat. Currently on e-bay, these are the hats that I think are my size that I like.

7 3/8

So, all of you with your expert hat knowledge..... what should I look at getting? The hat will be worn in the winter, probably not everyday but a fair amount.

Thanks in advance guys!

Welcome. My only suggestion is you go with a 7 1/2 if you measured 23 1/2". That's my measurement as well and can't imagine squeezing into a 7 3/8.
