I love my L.L. Bean and Outdoor Research sun hats.
I saw the Outdoor Research hats when I went shopping a few weeks ago. They seemed functional enough, but I could not get past the OR logo to try one on. I should have given it a closer look to see if there was one where the logo did not stand out so much.I love my L.L. Bean and Outdoor Research sun hats.
Thanks for the tip, I may purchase one. For my tastes, the Seahawk seems like the best of the five different models.Shelta Sun Hats are fantastic.
I've had a Shelta Seahawk for about 3 years now and it's been everywhere from the desert, mountains, lakes and oceans. Very sturdy. The brim of the hat doesn't flop around either.
Do you have GoPro or small action camera?

I have a Trilby straw (w/ Boar Brush hat pin), for my Sun hat.
How is their sizing? I measured 62 cm so that is a 7 5/8 on their site. I wear an issue boonie hat in 7 1/2 but it's snug.Just bought myself a T3 Wanderer after reading this thread. It's made in Canada and great quality. I wore out my Tarp hat and, nice as they were, I had no great desire to buy another. The Tilley is surprisingly top quality.

I also wear baseball caps and in winter wool or acrylic Beanies. Baldness is a thing.
Just based on your statement that you can wear a 7 1/2 (assuming it is true to size) but that it fits snug, then going up to a size 7 5/8 sounds about right. I crossed out your original quote, since what I see on the Tilley sizing chart omits 62cm, but implies that 61.5cm is 7 3/4 and 62.5cm is 7 7/8.How is their sizing?

I love EVERYTHING about that hat my friend!Tim:

But if you measure at 62 cm then you may need a 7 3/4 at a minimum. I say that because most of the online size charts indicate that 62cm best equates to a 7 3/4. And also from personal experience in that I originally bought 7 3/4 based on selecting a Tilley hat in person at a retail store some years ago. It fit as recommended, meaning I could insert a couple of fingers in between the head and brim (much easier on the side, not so easy at the front). Fast forward to 2021 when I wanted a second Tilley or something similar, I made an effort to measure my head size using a string and got 24-1/4" (it could have been a touch smaller by 1/16" or 1/8" depending on how tight one is measuring) which equates to a hat size of 7 3/4. Converting 23.25" to metric is ~61.6, so based on all that I would recommend a 7 3/4 for you over a 7 5/8. Also if you converting directly using math, then 62cm divided by pi to get the diameter, then divide that by 2.54 to convert to inches produces 7.77" so almost exactly 7 3/4. But of course it is best if you c
I mistyped I guess lol. I meant 61 cm. I ordered a 7 5/8 per their site after I reread it. I appreciate the help, I always wear a hat at work since I shave my head instead of having a bald spot and am outside alot while there. My boonie is ok and I have a cheap version knockoff of the Tilley but frankly it's to cheaply made.Just based on your statement that you can wear a 7 1/2 (assuming it is true to size) but that it fits snug, then going up to a size 7 5/8 sounds about right.

If memory serves, Father Mulcahy was gay so ... what are the odds of him going to sleep with her?Years ago I had a cheap white Panama that I loved, especially after it aged and got a bit soiled and went from a dress to a casual hat. My wife hated it. She used to tell me to get rid of it if I had any dreams of intimacy, or as she put it "You're crazy if you think I'm going to sleep with Father Mulcahy!"
