Help a fat head find a beanie hat that fits

Dugganator · 3 Jun 2009 at 13:49

Good afternoon all.

Right bit of a random one and I'm hoping that the fat heads here will be able to help me out. I've been boxing for a while now and had what I thought was a standard size beanie hat but its old gotta go and looks like rocky did in number 6.... we wont talk about that here

. Anyway I know I have a big head 63cm or custom baseball hat size of 7 7/8 so always have problems with hats stuff.

But I cant find a beanie that wont make me look like I've just stolen it off a child

. I've google'd and can find oversized ones but thats not really what I'm after as it has to not get in the way or move much. (its job is to keep the hair out of the way and stop the sweat running into my eyes

)

If anyone could suggest a good beanie hat for sports would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

NO.... lol one i cant knit and two the type of people that I would have to ask to do this would make something horrible i'm sure. I can just see a odd shaped pink colour hat with a bunny rabbit...... NO

Cowboy hats are the way forward. Or you could get a trilby like Yahtzee

YEEEEE HAAAAAA. As cool as that sounds I think I would catch the hat on my skipping rope within the first couple of seconds.

more reason i need one, I sweat like crazy at the best of times without it one I would be getting loads of sweat in my eyes and thats painful. Plus 2 hours of carded level boxing is hardcore its required in my case. The person next to me doesnt want to be showering in my sweat.

My sister knitted me a Jayne hat. It's pretty awesome.

You're doing it wrong.

Edit: Actually if you are going to the gym or a club, I think you should like wear a different styled hat everyday. Hopefully regulars will see you and think you are awesome.

An Aussie store that ships worldwide? There don't appear to be many UK sellers of hats that are XXL, it might just be a case of going into a few shops and trying on what they have.

I would need to stop every 30 seconds. Not what you want when your in the middle of work out. back to your cave

i think sweatbands might of been designed for this use...

beanie will just make you sweat even more and look like a total fool. sports in a beanie ? maybe snowboarding you could maange to pull it off

front part of the cap gets in the way when doing chin up push up all maner of exercises. Turning it around or moving it about all the time to stop it being in the way would just be silly. (and drive me mad)

I like how you changed from caps to sweat bands. Out of like the 50 or some people that go to the gym most wear beanie hats. sweatbands went out with the 80s and anyone that wears one should be fired from a conon into a brick wall. I do have a sweatban but I wore it once for an 80s night I couldnt bring myself to wear one in a gym

Also a lot of boxers wear extra layer's like jumper/hoodies so that they sweat more to lose weight quicker. I dont need the extra layer mind I sweat loads anyway
