"Gangster" Hats for kids

[JMac]

This might be a really silly question but any ideas where I can get one of the hats a "gangster" would wear? My 6 year old is desperate for one..

Figure just about any crushable wool fedora would work for a 6 year old. Could go godfather style and find homburg. In any case, I'd look for wool felt and crushable for a child as it'll hold up to anything your kid will put it through and you won't be out big money should he destroy it.

Whatever you're doing, you're doing it right! Keep him at it, then send him our way in about ten years' time...

But talk him out of hats being "gangster".

How large is the normal six year old head? I know where there are some of 6 3/4 hats

not sure what I'm doing but he's already chosen a suit with waistcoat.. He sure knows what he likes but he said the hat was missing so he could not wear the suit without the hat.. so he has chosen a hat and all I need to do is order..

Definitely measure his head - you might find you can get away with a small man's hat.

I get my grand kids vintage fedoras in small sizes on ebay or flea markets
easy pickings & good prices in small mens sizes 6 5/8, 6 3/4 are good for 4 to 8 year olds
