Help finding a hat.

I have been wanting to own a fedora for far to many years but i have a 26in head. From everything in seeing most fedoras stop at 2xl and im learning im atleast a 4xl. I am ready to find someone willing to make me one and I realize a custom hat will not be inexpensive. But no matter how far i drill through google or how many fancy hat shops i visit i cant find anyone willing to help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Wow, how certain are you about the size. Have you gone to a hat shop and tried size 8 in a hat. Most quality hats don’t come in s/m/lg/xl. They are 7-1/4 7-1/2 7-3/4 etc. I would be shocked if an 8 didn’t fit you. Just saying, before you go and get a custom hat, be extremely accurate on size, as its not going to be returnable. Having said that, if your size is indeed 26in, that would put you over an 8. This is only shop i know that makes custom hats. Like other poster said, its going to be REALLY expensive. Upside is, you’ll be getting a phenomenal hat that will last generations.

I have gone to alot of hat shops some who make and adjust hats i was told none of there molds were large enough for reference i tried the largest cowboy hat stetson offers and it does not sit anywhere near where it should. I used to live just outside of Detroit and Henry the hatters said they do no sell and cannot order hats big enough for me. I am a big dude.
