Anyone know how a campaign hat is supposed to fit? I bought one off ebay that is a 1940s vintage and is suppose to be the correct size for my head. However either is shrunk over the years or size were different in the 40's. It's a 7 1/4 and sit high on my head comes to the top of forehead. Can email me directly at [email protected]

That's how my hat fits. Because they sit flat on your head, if they pulled down on your head like a baseball cap, the front would be down over you eyes. There's also a bit of a break-in period. Once the band conforms to your head better, it's more comfortable.

Look for a western hat shop or a professional hat shop in your area and they can steam them to be more comfortable.
