glasses and hats for people with big heads
hi. i have a big head. i’m supposed to be wearing glasses, but i went to warby parker and even the widest glasses they had didn’t fit my head. same thing with baseball caps. i have one (it’s adjustable), but it doesn’t stay on my head unless im wearing a pony tail and putting my hair thru the loop thing. this sucks. any suggestions? price would be sub 250$ for the frames and then just any brands that do a cap that yall have found success with. thanks!

I have the same issue and glasses come in different width sizes. Would be good to get measured for what fits your face. I'm not sure on the offer in your area but I went to a specialised optometrist (for other eye issues) and they had a selection of wide frames that fit me
I have not found a solution for baseball caps, except a random "oversized" one that I found somewhere abroad
Oh and I also bought XXL ray ban wayfarers which were wide enough, but you gotta know your size first
Wythe snapbacks and 47' clean ups/hitches both fit my my 61cm wide head decently
check out oddjobs hats. they are hats for big headed people. their smallest hats are big enough for my big head, and they go up two more sizes past that. they have all different styles of hats.
I have a wide head and need wide glasses
you need to find designers or glasses sellers who sell wide glasses its really that easy
go into a glasses retail shop and try things on until they fit you width-wise and fit around your ears right
write down that number and use it as reference
I wear glasses from cubitts mostly
they end up around 200 per pair with lenses inc
yeah really familiarize yourself with glasses measurements
You'll typically see these on the arm -- lens width, bridge widget, and temple length
But what you really want to look for is frame width
Looking at the extra wide versions of my two frames, they're 149mm and 145mm respectively.
I understand the struggle -- I have a big head but a narrow face (narrow set eyes), so I need to compromise.
One thing to consider is that glasses can and should be adjusted to better fit your face. They can bow the sides if they're too tight. But you also don't want to wear a pair that's too small. i used to really fixate on "eyes in teh centre of the lens," and it meant wearing a pair that was too small and ended up basically indenting my head.
If they're close to a perfect fit and the temple length allows for it, there is often a lot of wiggle room on sizing.
Lots of guides online for measuring your face for frame width, but at least for me what worked best was trying on a bunch of pairs and figuring out which fit best, looked best, and which of those I was willing to compromise. I also made a spreadsheet, but I am an insane person and do not recommend that necessarily.
You can also bend a lot of frames outwards
And reshape the arms with some heat
I have to do it for basically all of mine
LensCrafters will do it for you too
Hello hello im late to this thread but i too have a fat ass head
Id recc looking for glasses that have a 62-64 width
And atleast 140 for temple length
Some glasses have arms that can bend quite wide out too
Other places like lensecrafters and other optometrists can adjust the frames if theyre acetate / plastic based like awz suggested
Brand wise under $250, oakley, rayban and ralph lauren are good places to start
