WW II USAAF Headgear

[Imahomer]

I'm looking for a leather made, winter type USAAF style cap. The only one I've found is this one: Eastman Leather Co. USAAF Type B-2 Winter Flying Cap
I think it looks great and is perfect. My problem is they only make them up to a size 7 1/2, which is just a tad small for me.


Does anyone have any suggestions?

A bit of stretching, some heat and moisture applied judiciously with an appropriate stretching device or hatblock might get that cap up to snuff.

Thanks guys... Ok, so I get the hat that I really want and try to stretch the heck out of it OR I get the one that isn't quite what I want, but fits. [huh] Life is never easy.
