I just purchased my first ball cap from Lamood Big Hats. First, I'm impressed you have hat size 8.25. Second, I'm accustomed to paying a minimum of $50 here in California for a hat size 71/5.(It is almost impossible to find a size 8 cap). From Lamood I purchased the same cap for half the price. Thank you. I am forever a Lamood customer as I purchase dress hats and ball caps aplenty.
