Amen! When I bought my last cowboy hat the girls at the store we're trying to offer me a 6 7/8 and I politely told them no, 7 1/2.

I was really surprised when I bought my sexy Giro Animas that I got a medium. Guess that model ran big. The large fit at it's smallest end. Boggles my mind because hats much bigger than 7 5/8 are almost impossible to find so I want to know who the large fit in that model.
This does bring up a good point though, in cowboy hats there are "head shapes." Round, square, oval. I'm an extra long oval so I either have to special order or get something oval and pray it can be shaped without ruining it."True, but if you throw your panties into the middle of the peloton, someone's likely to get hurt."
