I read various (contrasting) reviews about this cap written by people with big heads. I also have a big head and was dubious about purchasing this, after reading these reviews. I risked it and am so glad i did. Really cute cap. It is not oversized, to say the least (if you have a largish head). But i decided to get mom's handy ripper out and undo the stitching that holds the top down in the back (which took up all the slouch). Much better now! It is just stitched down with regular cotton thread that you can easily see (so you won't rip a hole in the sweater stitches). I really like it..The bill in front makes it interesting...otherwise i would never have gotten it. I'm the kind of person that looks horrible in regular knit caps ....Very pleased with my purchase!!
