    Saw a rather nice herringbone one but don’t reckon he’d wear that. A Rapha cap was too small apparently.

    Any recommendations appreciated. Thanks. 🙂

    Campag ones fit my ~60cm head very nicely, £5 a pop at Planet-X 🙂

    New gentleman friend, CG? 😉

    You know what they say about chaps with large heads, don’t you?

    (Oh, and a Buff is the only thing to wear under a helmet, regardless of the format of riding. Unless he’s a fixieridingasshat. In which case, dump him)

    The Mavic ones are a delight.

    That’s not a big head!

    63cm + is big!

    Walz?

    63cm = 25″ = Walz L/XL

    Average male head circumference is ~57cm, so 60cm is larger than average. 63cm is deformed though w_d, have you seen a doctor? 😉

    63cm is deformed though

    Thats nothing. I have a large Giro Remedy, fits fine, on another thread someone said it was too small for them! 🙂

    Thanks for the replies but no thanks for speculation. Yes, that means you Cap’n. 😉

    Well, he did get sucked into the Rapha aspirational tosh but I soon put him right. 😀 His Rapha cap is too small, well he’s hardly a miniscule Italian. 😉

    Have now seen some cord ones, dare I?

    I find the Prendas ones too big, and they’re cheap as the proverbial chips. My head is average sized I would have thought…

    Try these guys, they do made to measure. I do not own one, a riding companion does.

    FHHV ones are large fitting, and money goes to a good cause. Probably not as trendy as a cord one though.

    Prendas ones seem to be getting bigger.
    The Planet X ones with their logo are bigger.

    I had a cord Walz bighead cap and I found the bill too large. I’m on the cusp of normal/deformed at 59cm but two-storey forehead so end up with large being too baggy and OSFA being tight normally. That said I can wear a Rapha one with some luft.

    I struggled to find ones to fit my swede, tried pro team ones to no avail and even one from trip to alpe d’huez was too small. That is until I picked up some blue shimano ones at the bike show an they fit like a dream!

    Sure I picked up a few so happy to send you one.

    PM me your details if you want one

    I’ve got a couple of Cinelli ones that are a more relaxed old-skool fit.
