Adjustable riding hat for wide but short head

[measles]

I'm having dreadful trouble getting a velvet hat for my son to wear in the show ring. He currently has one of the adjustable lightweight endurance type hats as he needs a wide hat (c.7 1/8") but is very short from brow to back of hear, hence the need to adjust or make safe in some other way. Any suggestions? I discovered tonight that Just Togs do an adjustable "showjumper" style hat but I need a velvet one for M&M showing.

Safety is and will also be my first consideration and if he has to wear his existing "shiny" hat or some thing else non-standard (a protector?) then so be it but I would like to follow up all safe avenues first.

Help!

Haha sorry but "wide but short" head made me laugh. Exactly the same as me (but all of me, not just the head.)

And me, little_flea!

Anya01 - I've only found a mat exterior Dublin Onyx by googling it - is there a velvet one?
