If my hair is not damaged by the sun then it looks better when I go out. So, when I bike, kayak, walk, garden, hang out at the beach or shop (not trying on clothing) I wear a hat. So the more of a selection of hats I on hand have the happier I am. Can you tell that I really love a good brim? I love seeing the head wraps of women who are of different cultures.

I love seeing the head wraps of women who are of different cultures. So… can you provide head wraps as well?

i’m glad you look good in the men’s hat! a lot of women are taking that route nowadays too, because it has become less of a fashion fopa.

Yes, it is true - most of the hats for women are "one size fits some heads" rather than having actual sizes. So, what does a woman like me who has a lot of hair as well as a normal sized cranium do? Wears men's hats or shops where women's hats are offered in sizes. This is too bad because I do love the hats here and have purchased (and wear) the large sized men's hats. too bad that to wear these lovely creations one cannot have a head much larger than small.
