Hubby has a huge head.  Never had it really sized, but he has never had a properly fitted hat.  I bought him one of these a couple of years ago (3xl) to protect his balding head form the suns harmful rays when we go kayaking.  He wore it everywhere.  I bought him another one for work w/o the mesh sides.  He loved it even more.  It was never truly the right size, but close enough that it quit bothering him really quickly.  The work hat is just filthy from him pushing the hard surface vacuum (Billygoat) around all summer.  We were kayaking last summer, and it happened.  He hit a strainer on the river, upturned the kayak, and everything spilled out.  I saw the hat, and tried to go after it, but my Brother in law was closer. Unfortunatley, the paper cup caught his eye, and he chose to go after it instead. Gotta keep the rivers clean!! The hat went away faster than we could catch up.

So this 3xl is just a replacement for the lost love...
