"How did the hat buying experience go?"

First off, I found that a size "X" from one brand can be way different from the same size of another brand. I had measured my head prior and would have said that I was a size 7. Nope, not really.

A Cody James "7" just sat on the top of my head, no way was it going to fit, while another brand did "fit" but was tight as hell.

So, moved up to trying 7 1/8. Hmmmmm. Some were still fairly "tight", while others were too loose!!??.

The Stetson I settled on is a 7 1/8 but, the guy at the Boot Barn had to put a foam shim under the sweat band. Fits just fine. The Stetson 7's were too tight!!??

So, the lesson is that you should not order a cowboy hat online unless you are very sure of its fit.
