Hello!

I was wondering if you could custom make a fedora to fit my head. As many of you may not be aware, I have a pretty big head and it's a tad bit misshapen which makes it nearly impossible to find hats that fit me. The only reason I even wear my Kangol scally cap is because it's the only hat that looks good AND fits my head. I'd like to have some other hats to wear as well.

I know I'd probably have to be there for you to check out my skull, but I plan on coming to the UK soon enough anyway. So, what do you think? Could you custom make a full size fedora for my big, stupid head? haha

Hello!

As soon as I have the block for a fedora I will be meeting the challenge and making a hat for your misshapen head!!

And you are correct, I will need to meausre your head and do fittings etc to make sure it sits right.

And I am sure it isn't a big stupid head!  You want to come and live over here with all the lovelt BWI ladies right?  That's not stupid......well..... Confused

YAY! I'm happy to hear that. It'll be some time before I'm ready. I have to get there first and then I have to come up with the money for your services, but I have always wanted that sit on my head properly and fit comfortably. This is very good news! hehe. Thanks, mama.

You are more than welcome - fingers crossed for getting over here sooner generally, not just for hat reasons!!

Indeed. But the outlook is getting better all the time. I'm hoping to be there by the end of the year, but it might be a little after that. Depends on how quickly I can get ONE website contract to pay for my passport and various other little things. Such a pain in the ass that I only need one contract and I'm having such trouble getting it! haha.

Also, I need to sell my car. Hopefully that will happen quickly. I haven't put it up for sale yet because I need money to do some maintenance on it.

I'm sure you will find a contract son. If you like, I'm getting incredibly good at making men's waistcoats. I've made four already and I've been given some money for them too Very Happy
