    I need some help in finding somewhere I can buy a baseball style cap for my slightly large head (64cm). I am based in the north east. Any ideas?

    Dude, I am in the same boat. For years I've wanted to get flat caps, "Reni" hats, trilbies etc, but can never get one big enough. Shops only ever seem to have "M/L" or "one size" which is no good to anybody.

    Now, I know that M&S do carry XL hats, but not baseball caps, so can't help you there. However their hats are horrible and for me anyway the XL is too big and the L is too small.

    What you could do is look online. Once you measure the circumference of your head you can find our your "head size", then look online and take the risk and order.

    Over on the "Facial Hair and Hats" forum there might be more guidance in this area...

    A size 64cm is a size 8 headband, or an XXXLarge. Online is probably going to be your best bet. I don't have any recomendations for baseball caps as I personaly don't like them but I do see countless caps on offer when I go looking for hats.
    As mentioned above there are some sites listed in the facial hair and hats forum but we will try to talk you into getting a fedora or a panama instead.

    Are you sure you've measured that right? I'm 24cm and my head isn't tiny. What way are you doing it? You should get measuring tape, wrap it round your head just over your ears but over your eyebrows (IOW, where the hat will sit), and that's how you do it. 64cm seems a little large.

    Assuming you meant 24inch there. :)

    You. 24inch = 61cm = 7 5/8 = XL
    OP. 25.5 inch = 65cm = 8 1/8 = XXXL

    It's a big size true but not unusual.

    Try New Era baseball hats, they come in a variety of sizes

    You're right. Maths is my enemy.
