Head Shape Poll

[Wildblue]

I'm definitely a long oval, based on how my head fits into standard hats. Since there isn't one set standard for what defines each category, (only various guidelines of which the one above is but one) I couldn't say whether I'm just a Long Oval, or an Extra Long Oval.

 

[St.Ignatz]

I'm a round oval like a lot of people of Asian descent. Where does that fit in? Is that a "short oval?"

Yep, had a brain freeze when I was setting up the poll. Brain is all squeezed up in an extra long oval skull.

 

[The Good]

So wait, would "oval" be regular oval? If so, I may vote this, as that's what I believe myself to be.

 

[scottyrocks]

Im a long oval because thats the type of hat that fits me best.

 

[grundie]

My head is silly putty shaped.

My head is silly putty shaped.

So I take it youre very impressionable.

 

[St.Ignatz]

A bump and clarification. Wide oval=Short Oval
Oval = Regular

I promise to write the next poll sober. I've tried to edit but it seems that isn't possible.

I feel that i am a 7 long oval. I know for sure I am a 7 but I say LO because the few LO hats I have fit far better than plain 7s. But I've had no professional hatter tell me as much.

 

[St.Ignatz]

M.V. you don't need a tailor to tell you your trousers are too tight. If the LO fits better it would follow that it is a better fit. The (limited) poll results seem to indicate that those of us that have had the opportunity to compare
R and LO, or in my case R,LO and ELO find we are in the majority indeed. Welcome.

I'm a size 7 long oval. Although I do wear some 6 7/8 and 7 1/8 depending.

I consider myself to be DOH
Diagonal oval hatwearer.
If I put a hat on to where it feals correct, the front is a good amount to the right of "top dead center".
Not a problen to simply straighten it a bit for quality fur hats (they conform quite well),
but doing that will make a straw brim go a bit "wonky".

[Frunobulax]

I think I'm a regular oval, but there is definately a bulge above my right eye, as on tighter has, I can feel it.

 

[DOGMAN]

8" long,6" wide.

 

[St.Ignatz]

8 3/8 X 6 1/4. XLO. Takes a lot of work to get the waves out of ovals. I can relate Dogman.

Where's the fun in that? There's a category missing, though, to which I would belong with my extra long oval at 63cm. -- Martian.

Bump. Being a 7 1/4 LO, found that with a little padding I can pull off a 3/8", which widens my horizons. My custom head shape from Mike at NW has allowed me to craft some hard foam and wood hat shape blocks which helps nudge a regular into my egg shaped noggin. It seems there are quite a few 7 1/4 sized folks floating around the FL.
