What’s Your Hat Size?
I’m looking through my L.L. Bean catalog sizing chart and have decided to measure my head. It’s exactly 22 inches which puts me in the M or 7-7 1/8 category.

I have a humongous head. When I sold Borsalino hats 20+ years ago, I knew my size... 10 or something.

Oh for crying out loud, guys. Pull out your sewing kit and wrap one of these around your head. A monster truck is “Big.”

In truth, I don’t know anything about hat sizes. L.L. Bean’s sizing chart – unisex – goes from 6 ½ (XS) to 7 7/8 (XXL) so I don’t know how your neck is holding that thing up but more power to you and your ginormous head.

23 inches. Two inches smaller than my waist. YIKES!!!
My daughters say that I'm a lollipop, which I assume is an endearing term.
I like fedoras and have a couple that I wear from time to time.

Don't tell Tippy your hat size. Ever since she heard that IQ divided by Hat Size = Butt Size she's been asking everyone.

My brothers always used to tease me about my big head and my rather modest balcony. Typical comment: "She looks like she's walking backwards."
I guess my shoulder-blades were more impressive. Siblings are cruel.

Wow, patricia! I am not truly surprised though that you have to a larger skull to contain that big brain of yours.
Speaking of butts, trying on clothes at the post holiday sales confirms again that my waist and hips are two different sizes. I know I’m not the only woman with this problem. I wonder where Darryl’s ladies buy their pants.

My grandfather’s Stetson, which I lifted unceremoniously from his house on the day of his funeral, says 7 ¼. It was purchased from “Reinhart’s, Since 1868, Elko, Nevada.” I love this hat. I also lifted his coffee mug that my younger cousin Stephanie gave to him. It says “Grandpa” on it and I don’t use it.
The last things I took were a couple of pictures that look like wall art purchased from a drug store. You know, small “paintings” but where there aren’t any brush strokes. Is that what is meant by a screen? I look again and the paintings look to have a layer of finish on them where some kind of uniform “texture” has been applied to make it look painted (if you had no clue). One is a thin vertical of a pixie like child in a pierrot looking tunic with bare legs holding a mask. It’s slightly creepy but I like it. The other is a scene from a ballet, maybe Giselle given the long white tutus, and though kinda crude (every dancer has the same hairstyle, hair color, and face), it has nice composition and variety looking at it from the perspective of ballet dance performed on stage and the figures and poses are graceful and lovely. Both are hanging in my apartment. Oh the holidays make me nostalgic. Never fails. I like it.

You're very sweet. I think it's just space for lease.
Don't feel bad about not being a standard size. My mother, who was an excellent tailor told me that standard sizes fit very few actual people exactly.
Buy the pants-size that fits your hips and have the waist taken in.

I've got a monster fucking head. No way I'm measuring it, it would be too depressing.
It's one of the reasons I like keeping it cleanly shaved.

See I thought head measurements would be the least threatening body measurement for anyone concerned. Just wrap a string around your head and then lay it against a ruler. Inquiring minds want to know.

My head is 23 1/4" around. Unfortunately, there isn't much in it.

I don't know, but one way to deflect attention is by wearing this T-shirt.

I'll bet, as I often do, you wonder just what was supposed to be going on in that bigger-than-average head of yours.
Did your early report cards, even though they were way above average, also have comments like " David is not working up to his potential. He must limit his socializing and apply himself."?
Was whoever it was who dealt out the head-spaces anticipating that some monumental thinking would be going on in there??
Just goes to show...

You have to be more specific. Which head do you want us to measure?

It does. BTW, "popping an elephant" while wearing sunglasses on it is known as "popping a Hollywood"
