What is the length and width of the inside?

 

[Purplesage]

Approx 8 1/4 x 6 5/8. I posted another photo showing the 7 3/8 size tag.

I see it says "Long Oval" on the sweat, so 8 1/4L would fit a little too loose for me. Darn.

If you wear a 7 1/4 this hat is a little too big. I wish it fit me as well.

I wear a 7 3/8, and the LO's have felt loose.

I prefer a reg oval but long ovals seem to be pretty popular as well. Anyway, thanks for your interest.
