I Have a Massive Head

Today, my Indiana Jones-esque Filson Packer Hat arrived. This is the second one I’ve owned, and they’re excellent for hiking and walking of all sorts. They wear in nicely and are extremely durable. I wore the first one for several years, but ultimately gave up on it because it hurt my head.

See, my brother and I have very large heads. I don’t know why, but it just worked out that way. So, despite my local outdoors store stocking a broad range of these hats, I had to special order an XXL. I’m kind of tall, but in most other respects (keep your dirty jokes to yourself, thank you) I’m within regular human parameters. I’m like Calvin, sans talking tiger. So you ask yourself, why such a big head (obscure Saturday Night Live reference there–Rich Hall doing David Byrne)?

My brother and Dad are that way too. My dad had to special-order a Tilley Hat, and both of them are exempt from Saanich’s odd bicycle helmet laws because they can’t purchase a fitting helmet in any normal stores. They got a special dispensation and everything. My melon’s pretty large too, but I can at least still buy headwear.

When a young thing in HS band, first year, I was issued a NEW hat for marching, wholly contrary to regs, which stated only seniors got new stuff, purely because my head was a size 6 3/4″, and it was the only hat small enough.

It’s grown since. Along with the rest of me, more’s the pity.

Dad has that hat! He says when he wears it, women at Costco hit on him. (I don’t know if you’ve ever met my father. He’s a strange one)
