I'm a hat guy......never leave the house without one.......but I'm talking caps and wooly hats......I need a proper grown up man hat........but the rub is I have big head.....easily a 7 1/2, so I need some advice from the experts....Oh and I'm a tight scotsman so lets peg the budget at between...
Great stuff guys......CatsCan has done his homework......the N1 truly is a minefield!

price wise you cant go wrong with Pike Bros. Bronson are worth a look too. They are cheaper than the rest and plenty of people here are happy with them. Worth considering Buzz Rickson too. They come in around £450. All the premium ones have their fans, it just depends how deep your pockets...
Very much enjoying the IH N1. Couldn't be happier with the fit. Not really fussed about historical accuracy.......so I like the heavy weight zipper, and I particularly like the way the zip can separate from the bottom, makes the jacket very versatile. A also like the lined pockets, its the...
