Mine is way bigger than that..lol. the smaller hats don't have to be ur head measurement because they are not full hats. There is a hat stretcher that can be used to make the hats wider at the head fitting point incase you don't have the right sized block.Dibshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878696633282355383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632968705353660086.post-2512725359638726332012-08-29T00:18:24.642+01:002012-08-29T00:18:24.642+01:00Thanks Maddie.
