First off, this is NOT the kind of thread you think it is.

I have one simple gripe....hand out free hats in whatever size you want, but can I please please please order one that's just a wee bit BIGGER?

This is the special hat I got with my Surefire E1B Backup yesterday....

...and that's on the BIGGEST setting!

How many wish you could get a bigger LT hat?

Either I have a small head or you have a large head because mine fits. You make the call

I wear a big hat too, The normal ball caps never fit me.

If that is a standard hat, your head is freaking huge. Just sayin'.

WTF? Who carved that giant Easter Island head?

Just got the same one today...fits just a tad snug on the setting it leaves the warehouse in...plenty of room for adjustment...

Everyone else in my unit got large kevlar helms with me they tried, and I just looked at them, than they finally went and got an XL from the back bin, so I feel your pain

Holy shit

You remind me of a guy I knew in the navy. We referred to his head as "sonar array #3".

That look is the look of a child opening a present on Christmas morning expecting toys and getting a pair of socks instead. Your face says it all.

I voted yes. I have a big head. I'd proudly wear my LaRue Tactical hats if they didn't fit me like a non-magnum sized condom.

Mine fits quite snugly.

I need to find it because it was nicely broken in with sweat stains, beached by sun, motor oil...

Nope, I still say its the head.

My LT hats don't fit either. I still wear them though. I get made fun of every time I wear one.

I just came up with a great idea! I'm just gonna wear mine anyway to an ARFCOM shoot sometime. You'll all know me immediately.

Exactly. I was so disappointed...you don't even know. I mean, I assumed it would either be snug, or not fit. I didn't think it would be THAT bad, though.

I had to quit wearing hats for that very reason.

It's like trying to force half a ping-pong ball on a grapefruit.

I wear a size 7 1/2 hat, fairly large in the scheme of things, and my LaRue hat fits fine.

You got a gimondous melon, my brother.

Our resident large-headed Squid was "Ship's Head".

He never understood why he was getting chased with a Sharpie when someone in CIC would call out, "Mark Ship's Head". Usually, an unknowing OSSN would actually call out the ship's heading. Everyone else would just laugh.

By the way, when you opened the box did you freak out when you saw an empty flashlight package then breathe a sigh of relief when you saw it clipped to the hat?

I've got the same issue w/the LT hat as I'm a 7 7/8's hat (at least..sometimes an 8).

My football team would ask, "Which would you rather have? $1,000,000.00 or ..........'s helmet full of nickels?"

Funny...

It'd cost you $30 from LT shipped. Try again.

Besides, you can't even buy this color without buying the $100 flashlight.
