I need a new riding hat but have an odd shaped head and the only hats I've found that are comfy are Champion ones so I'm after suggestions for hats that are a similar shape to them.

Obviously I will go and try the hat on before I buy but I don't want to drive round loads of tack shops...okay I would love to drive round loads of tack shops but my bank balance couldn't cope...so I would prefer to go to shops that have hats that have a chance of fitting.

Any suggestions from fellow odd egg heads?

Have you tried Charles Owen? I have both a Champion (fixed peak) and a Charles Owen (jockey skull) and both are equally comfortable for me. I prefer the CO out of the two.

I've got the Charles Owen Kylo one and I'm really happy with it.

It uses a dial fit so after a couple of years of either wearing one just a smidge too small or another one a smidge too big (both fitted to me in large shops), I finally have one that actually feels comfortable and secure.

I tried the Charles Owen Kylo and in my normal size it dug into the bone at my temples and gaped along the sides of my head and the next size up just wobbled. 😞

I tried a Kylo as I thought it was looked really nice but unfortunately even with the dial system it is the wrong shape for my head. 😞
