Head Size

[Summer Nights]

I realised recently that I have a pretty large head but I’d never really noticed I suppose because I’m reasonably tall too, albeit with a smallish face on this big noggin.

So I just measured it and the circumference comes out at 23.5 inches (59.6cm).

Google tells me that’s the 99th percentile but I’m really sceptical because it doesn’t seem that abnormal to me.

For reference, I’ve got a couple of fitted caps at 7-5/8 size, with a slight looseness to them for comfort.

I know there are guys with huge heads out there and wear size 8 caps. Anyone here in that realm of cranium size?

Edit: typo.

I am from the Balkan peninsula, can sympathise with large head problems.

Its at the larger end of the scale but I doubt its 99 percentile since there are larger sizes. Some peoples heads are so big they cant wear hats. Mine is 58cm and I'm considered large.

Dunno if i have a big head but jesus would swap my high forehead in a second for a head without one,


Reminds me i should get a haircut soon and get my fringe done

I’m also a 7 5/8 hat which is slightly loose comfortable, and I’ve never been told I have a big head. All about proportion I guess.

When people say you have a big head they aren’t actually referring to the physical measurement of your head...

Just buy a cap. Your massive melon will stretch it for you.

Massive. Please tell us more.

Massive. Please tell us more.

Um, well Xmas cracker hats haven't fit me since the age of probably 12, I had to take the foam out of cricket helmets so they'd fit. Oh and my 3 year old son wears adult caps already. (he was a caesarean by the way, probably a good thing for the missus)

I went to a NFL game years ago and wanted a fitted hat. I asked for their biggest one, I asked how big it was, the girl said "oh don't worry, it will fit, no one's head is bigger than that". It was snug but i bought it so I didn't get embarrassed, it does fit when I've had a haircut and it has stretched a bit over the years so it's ok.

ya tall so you need a fat head for balance
possible scientific fact that i think i remember.. fat obese people have their sculls get bigger 2 balance them

Lacrosse player being forced to sit because there's not a helmet big enough to protect his head

Lorenzo Reyes, USA TODAY Published 1:52 p.m. ET Feb. 18, 2019

A college lacrosse player is being forced to sit on the sidelines because he's got a big head, and no one can find a helmet big enough to protect it.

The Boston Globe interviewed Wheaton College freshman Alex Chu, who said that without a helmet approved by the NCAA, he is permitted only to run sprints with the team and cannot play in games when the season begins.

“Lacrosse is kind of my whole life,” Chu told the Globe. “I can’t remember ever going this long without playing.”

While Chu was in Nipmuc Regional High School in Massachusetts, according to the Globe, he wore a helmet made by a local manufacturer that fused the front and back of two different helmets. With the fabricator now out of business, Chu awaits for one of two of the main manufacturers of lacrosse helmets, Cascade-Maverik and Warrior, to craft and fit him with a custom-made helmet approved by the NCAA.
The Globe reported that Chu, 19, hoped to use the same helmet he used in high school, but that it was “too cracked and tattered.” Still, the helmet lacked the required approval from the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE).

Chu told the Globe that his head circumference is slightly larger than 25 inches. A Warrior company spokesman told the Globe that making a custom helmet would be “cost-prohibitive” because of the “tens of thousands of dollars as a general estimate” that would be required to retool factory machinery.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” NOCSAE executive director and legal counsel Mike Oliver told the Globe. “But we don’t have leverage over the manufacturers. We can’t compel them to make a special helmet. We can encourage them, cajole them, work with them, but not command them.”
Oliver added that he has started to make calls to manufacturers on Chu’s behalf.

According to the Globe, Cascade-Maverik recently fitted Tehoka Nanticoke, a star player at the University of Albany, which made the Final Four last season, with a larger, custom-made helmet. The Globe said it confirmed with a University of Albany spokesman that Nanticoke wears a large helmet that was made after Albany’s coaches and Cascade-Maverik “huddled up.”

The Globe reported that the last time Chu’s mother tried to contact a company representative at Cascade-Maverik, “he angrily hung up on her.”
