: But it's a size too big, I think! ARRRRGGGHHH! My fault though, it is the size I ordered, and it did have the 2-3/4" brim. I ordered it on Feb.11, and Miller originally shipped it out the same day, but I didn't recieve it until now because UPS screwed up the shipping and it got returned to sender. Miller Hats reshipped it on Monday afternoon, and it arrived here in four days.

: So how well should the hat fit? Is it snug like a baseball cap? Before ordering, I measured my head dozens of times, with measurements ranging around 23-1/8", a perfect 7-3/8 size; and 23-1/4", which all the instructions I have seen say round up to 7-1/2 size. I was still uneasy about which size to order, so I went to the local MSU bookstore and tried on their fitted caps. But that didn't help, because the smallest size that fit was a 7-3/4. I concluded that I would order the larger size, and thought I could get away with stuffing dollar bills in the sweatband if it was too big (I read that on some web site--David Morgan's, I think). I have tried this, and it gets to where it fits nicely, like its just sitting up there, but is this good enough? I can still pull it down over my ears (not ears in the hat, but bent under the brim? I am kind of nervous about sending it back just to get a hat that is too small. Can anybody help me out with suggestions? I do wish there were more hat shops around!

: By the way, the two times that I called Miller Hats at their local number, I received good customer service, compared to the first time when I used their toll-free number, which was pretty lame.

: Oh, and it really is a NICE hat.

: "Patience, my boy."

You can try double-sided foam tape in small strips under the sweatband until you get a good fit. It shouldn't leave a mark on your forehead. That's too
tight. As it is a leather sweat band, it might shrink a bit after geting wet and drying. Good luck.
