For those of you who wear velvet hats

[Equestriangirl123]

I need to get a nice smart one for dressage in March . I do not have a Charles Owen head and currently wear a gatehouse HS1 in size 3.
What velvet hat do you have (especially those with non Charles Owen heads ) ?

Thanks

I've just ordered a champion air vent one! had to go up a size in it though! normally 6 7/8 -7 (size 2) but have gone for a 7 1/8 in this hat! pick it up sat, so excited, I've always had scull caps!

Personally I have a Charles Owen one. But looks the same as this gatehouse one

Mine's Caldene. I too do not fit Charles Owen hats, they pinch the sides of my head. But the Caldene hat is a lovely comfy fit. I also have a Harry Hall hat for everyday (not a velvet one) but that's realy comfy too.

I replaced my ancient and enormous Charles Owen H2000 with a Champion Grand Prix, The Champion is really lovely, nice slim profile on it too as well as PAS015 and BSEN1384 standard.

I have the Charles Owen one too with the leather buckle. It's extremely comfy!

i was stuck between the gatehouse velvet hat and the charles owen fiona , but when i saw a fiona there is just no comparison there just lovely hats , i have a Hs1 shaped head and i had a piece of foam put in the back of the fiona
