Falling a 1/4 inch short.

Ultimately, it just didn't make the cut, falling about a 1/4 inch short. I tried, but the slightly insecure feeling of the forced-fitting on my inflated cranium led to failure.

But Pantropic makes nice hats. Quality straw, all natural materials in sweatband and headband, with an understated style on many levels. Maybe I'll find another Pantropic, one more suitable to a bloated skull.
