I like everything about it except for the sad droop at the side. It all but cries out for Viagra.

carter said:Pat, I spoke with Carol at HatPeople this morning. She is extremely friendly and accomodating. I think you should contact her and explain the problem with your hat.

Sort of a cool look.

I'm quite happy with the bigger one...although it is so large I'm still trying to figure out if it looks right on me. I feel like a mushroom. I welcome any tips on comfortably sporting something this big on your head.

Don't sweat it. It looks like you just took that baby out of the box and put it on your head. It will relax with time. Beat it up a bit, and bend that brim in some fashion. You will look great in that x-full cut.
I like the fact that there is no snap on mine. Wouldn't want it, doesn't need it.
I would like to see a size between these two from the HP.
Torpedo said:Hi Tracyam,
I had my own misgivings about the "Full cut" HatPeople cap, and eventually I ordered the "Extra Full". Your photos confirm I did well in NOT ordering the "Full". I mean, this "Full" is not THAT full - which may well suit some people, but I was looking for a voluminous cap.
Now, the "Extra Full" is voluminous. I was unsure at first, too, and, as you, posted some photos in this very thread and asked for advice. The majoritary opinion was positive. Besides that, I have found it is a question of getting used to it.
And you have a fuller face, and a stouter body, than me, so getting used should be easier...
Try it for some days, and if you are unable to feel comfortable, send it back. Although the "Full" is not the answer, I am afraid.
Regards!
Regards!
tracyam said:Thanks for the kind words about the extra full cut. I'm really liking it a lot. In response to HoosierDaddy, no I've not had a problem with either Hatpeople caps not having a snap on the bill. I pull them both forward and they don't budge.
I'd like to see a Hatpeople cut somewhere between extra full and full.
Torpedo said:RGraham is right re: your cap needing some wear, including stuffing it into a pocket and the like. It will look much better when you break it in.
Regards!

My Hatpeople "deep" cap is about equivalent to the cap on the little boy with the bird.
As I wear this one, I'm kinda thinkin' I'd prefer a fuller cut. Still like this one, though.
