No kidding. The size tag is clearly 7, so I guess the hat shrunk over time, even without being worn (maybe hats retain their size better when they're worn, though that would seem counter intuitive).
Ebay Snarkiness
Seems like ebay sellers are getting a bit snarky these days. I was trying to get some basic info on a hat from a seller named "misspaula2003" and after a few emails, she (he?) told me I was being a pest and blocked any further emails. When sellers get cagey like this, I just...
