I would merge those three threads into one, along with this one.
These threads are helpful but they are from years ago. Who will answer me on such an old thread. There's a variety of opinions and I would like to have a conversation about it
Reviving old threads is indeed a treasure trove of past comments, many of which need not be repeated. However, I'm loathe to suggest, given all the work that goes into this forum and much of it freely given too, that The Lounge does shoot itself in the foot when it comes to reviving such threads. When I put "Hat Positions," into the search I get everything from which (leather) jacket are you wearing today, to, you know that you're getting old. On the other hand when I searched the same subject on Google, this thread came up, along with others that were all pertinent to the subject matter. Had I been new to The Lounge how would I have known that Google was a better bet?Reviving an old thread serves several purposes. It allows members who haven't been exposed to opinions and knowledge from years ago to review and benefit from those previous posts. It also serves to make the site cleaner and consolidate threads so researching information is streamlined. An old thread with new posts will get the same attention as a new thread. We revive and consolidate threads here all the time.

What do you think about position of the hat on your head? I like to wear my hats a little big, about 1 finger width above my eye brow. That's because I got started wearing fishermen hats for the sun, and they are loose by design and that's now how I prefer the fit.
My Stylemaster hat sits a bit high. I measured my head many times, and I am a 59 - 59.1 cm. I ordered 60 cm thinking it would be big and I could just use sizing foam strip to fill the gap. That would mean I could grow into the hat if it shrank. I actually think the 60 is a bit small on me as it sits 2-3 fingers above my eye brow. I did not order 61, because I ordered a XL Indy (Indiana Jones) Wool Fedora from Connor hats. The XL is listed as for sizes 61-60 and I it was too big. I could fill it with sizing tape but it still felt a bit loose. Since then it shrunk and feels fine with only one 1.5 inch sizing strip of sizing tape.
Some forums lock their posts after it's been a while. The internet is not that old. Where will all this information be in 100 years of answering posts? Well I guess all these posts should probably be merged then.
