I've gone with custom hats a couple of times because I have such a large noggin. It's hard to find a great looking hat in size 8.

If your noggin' is large, the Village Hat Shop won't suffice. I have a size 8 cranium, and they don't have anything that comes close to fitting me. However, I did find one in a haberdashery in Portland, Oregon. The Store is John Helmer.
