I'm a hat virgin. OK, I admit it. I've heard you guys talking about it for a long time. I've wanted to try it. But I was afraid. Maybe I wouldn't do it right. Hell, my father did it. So did both of my grandfathers. I wouldn't be here if they hadn't done it. I just haven't had the nerve. It's kind of scary. Your first time. What if I mess up?
So... go easy on me.
Here are a couple of really basic (admittedly probably stupid) questions:
1. Hat sizes seem very precise. Not like suit sizes. How do I know what mine is? Who measures me? I figured I would buy vintage hats - I even have a collection of "family hats" to choose from - but I have no idea if they fit or not. How do I know what my size is?
2. I know this sounds odd but I suspect my head size probably changes, depending on my haircut. I still have really thick hair and sometimes it's more thinned down or sleeker than others. Does that matter? If hat sizes are in 1/8" then I can assure you I can lose way more than that at the barber's.
I'll stop here. Too embarrassed to ask any more questions.
