St.Ignatz said:It would seem a large percentage of people are Long Oval. Why they are so difficult to purchase "off the rack" is, in my opinion, a real shoot yourself in the foot move to an industry trying for some sort of resurgence. I've spayed my CD good and wet and wore it till it dried. Wearing it in the rain is a lot more satisfying and the hat will be better for it. You can buy LO stretchers but if too much is needed (XLO) you get a very exaggerated brim curve.

It's just wierd, I NEVER thought my head was as big as it is.
I mean, I know there are bigger, but LO size 59 is really up there lol (in the range of normal sizes, I mean).
I'll keep working the CD, and I don't mind brim curve all that much. It's just good to know why the hat's not fitting right now.
With every hat purchase I learn more, like the fact that I am a Long Oval lol.
I detailed everything I've learned from all my hat purchases so far (you know, since I started wearing hats the beginning of this summer) in the Akubra Campdraft thread. It's really quite a lot .
