I'd buy it but I vowed to stick with 7 1/4

I almost bid on that...but I have a lot of brown hats.

Plus, I just won two Borsalinos in the last week (one of which was brown, yes). I've really slowed down on the hats because I have so many, and I tend to wear the same six all the time, and only wear the others every couple of weeks.

It must be nice to buy a hat sight unseen and be reasonably certain it will fit. With a 7 1/4 long oval to extra long oval head, that just doesn't happen. Yep, the doctor really used the salad tongs on me. :D

Gee, will a regular 7 3/8 fit? Sometimes if you go to the next size the hat will fit because the circumference of the hat is simply larger.
I have only see one vintage Extra Long Oval and fortunately I did because it was a 7 1/2 Extra Long Oval that fit my regular 7 5/8 head. ;) That is why I mention choosing the next size. Works for me. :D

Regards to all,

J,

I have tried one size larger and don't get quit the fit I want. I've accepted the fact that I have a strange head.LOL

Thanks for looking, James. :)

The crown on that one is a little big for my taste.

I'm look for something with a smaller crown and about a 3" brim. Maybe in a pecan color.

We have already had three mornings of frost. It's about time to start thinking of a lid. ;)

Regards,
Tom
