Rip Snorter Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Worst case, there is always custom, don't know where you are, but easy in the West. I wear Western hats most of the time outdoors and have several custom made hats I've worn for years. Law Dog Hats or Rands Hats in Billings. Usually you have to be measured, but I think I ordered my first one by phone, and it was pretty close when I picked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mezcal Charlie Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 You can stretch a quality hat a size or two by steaming and using a $10 hat stretcher. So 7-1/2 can be had cheap in thrift or on line. Look for 5x or better. Or as mentioned custom. You can get a quality hat that will last years from last best west for about $330. Check them out. Not cheap but the price one pays for being outside the norm. Says the guy who has size 14 feet since the ‘70’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I have an old Army or USMC Campaign hat downstairs - I m 7 5/8 and it is too big for me. You'd have to shape it - whoever wore it had a kinda round head. Don't know how I'd ship it, and with the new rules it would be expensive. If you can't find anything better,free for shipping.

Grass Range Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Steaming you hat will allow a slight increase in size and you can also flatten the brim. My wife watches the Texas Ranger,new, program. The hats look like tacos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Eye Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 That is my hat size as well. Another Tip, If buying a used hat from questionable source , IE Goodwill, Put it in the freezer for 24 hours to kill any possible critters that come with the territory. Worse than Sheepherders I hear. Sly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.K. Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Check out EBAY there's a few hats that size listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 D bar J in Neveda or Mikes Hatters in Texas. Expensive but they’ll last a lifetime. My D bar J got soaked at a match and once it dried you couldn’t tell. D bar J also sells hats with minor cosmetic flaws at a reduced price but still the same quality construction.

Late on this - looking to replace a ranch hat ran across this they appear to carry a variety (prices &types) in your size. https://www.hatcountry.com/hats/cowboy-hats/fur-cowboy-hats.html?hat_size=672 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
