Hi, I'd love to order a new MandolinCafe cap, but I wear a size 7 7/8 cap, and "one size fits all" usually turns out meaning "one size fits everyone but me"

Are these caps an exception? I don't want to drop the cash for something I can't wear

Thanks

Hey Justin

I'm a head size 7 1/2" and with the cap adjusted accordingly there is 2 1/4" left on the adjustment strap. Hope that helps.

I wear your basic medium - 7 1/8 or so, according to my panama hat. My Cafe hat fits with about three inches of material to spare. I'd bet you'll do fine.

Mine has plenty of headroom left and I do a 7 1/4.

Justin,
My hat size is the same as yours. As mentioned above, there is plenty of fabric in the adjusting strap and I can get the hat on my head just fine. However, it doesn't fit like I prefer a cap to fit. I like to be able to pull my cap down well onto my head. The cafe cap feels shallow and like it is going to slip off my head with the slightest movement.

That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid, I hate it when a light breeze rips your hat off, plus it looks like you're balancing a toddler's hat on your head. So I guess I'll just have to live without it! :crying:

Thanks everyone!
