Any suggestions on sizing?

That place is still around, cool.  Bought a 'Wayne's World' baseball cap there almost twenty years ago. 

To the OP, any Kangol hat in the 'ventair' or 'bamboo' (what I use) line will work well.  For sizing, if you have an 'average' size head, probably M to L, with S for small heads and XL for larger ones.  They have a size chart on the Kangol website I think.

The furry Kangol is pretty sweet.  They should make it in purple and call it the P-Funk.

FWIW, the ventair's have a really nice hat band that's not too elastic and not too tight.  It makes the size of the hat a little less critical.  FWIW, I'd err a little small for a ventair than a little big.  For any other hat, I'd probably err the other way, but these Ventairs really have alot of give to them.  OTOH, if you're confident of your hat size, I'd go with the size you know you wear.

Having said this, you want to be as inconspicuous as possible when stealthing, therefore I recommend this one...

I wish I had seen the price of the Kangol ventair's from the store in Berkeley. I just spent $40 on a black one. I got a large as per the size measurements and think it will work out great for some AKG's.

That's funny as hell, but when you think about it you may have accidentally hit on something here.

What security guy is going to suspect a smacked ass wearing a hat like that is actually a clever stealth taper?  Might actually work well for someone with a low embarrassment threshold.

There are lots of very silly hats out there:

Yeah, that guy on the left looks pretty goofy!

One of my favorite hat-related taping memories was at HSMF in 2000, when they announced right before the beginning of Dr John's set that he wasn't cool with taping...you've never seen such a wide array of hats surface so quickly ;-)

you can grab a ventair from Lids in the Mall. I sewed elastic loops in my brim and stick the caps/collette them.  Works great.
