    Need help in buying a hat that is not uncomfortable for the forehead

    Hats don't fit the forehead well with hair between the sweatband & your head. I've always brushed my hair out of the way so the sweatband would be against my skin.

    I used zippo lighter fluid to blot out writing from a felt tip marker on the inside of a vintage felt hat I was turning inside out. The size was written there but came out using a soaked white cloth to blot the numbers.
