By leather hat band, the one on the outside right? Any idea how big they are to begin with? That might be good to know. Thanks
RJ's number 580-887-3313 Yes the hat band out side. No clue on size but too small for us. And you aren't going to stretch the hat band he makes very much. FWIW he lives in Nobscot/Fay OK.
I do have a few questions. I usually keep my hats down on my forehead, not way up on top of my head like his pictures show. RJ said that he effectively makes one size of hat since he uses the same block for all of them. Based on that, am I likely to wear this hat or not? I wear a 7 3/8 Long Oval. Thanks again
Mike, I'll get you his phone number in the morning. You'll need a wooden hat stretcher to get his hats to fit. You'll also want him to sew the leather hat band big enough or just have him not sew it and finish it up yourself. 7 3/8 should be easy enough
RJ is not a fan of stretching his hats. I really like the hats but no way in hell I'd wear one on the tp of my head. If need be and you have a good hat stretcher I can walk you through getting it big enough for actually fit. Key is a big enough leather hat band. The leather sweat inside stretches easy enough.
