    before it starts to get hot i reallllly need a tam made that will not pop off in 20 min
    i would like 1 with a brim and fat enough for my dreads , and with either a drawstring or elastic band in the back to keep it nice and tight

    the dreadbag part can be even too large to allow for growth, but the main important thing will be the elastic or drawstrig to make a nice snug fit so the weight wont pull it right off

    preffer wool, but a loose knit is good for summer as long as its still durable

    anyone wanna make me 1?
    please? i really need it and can trade hmm maybe 4 or 5 tams that dont quite fit right for 1 that dies
    (or cash if preffered)

    other then that..the sooner the better

    thnx

    How big does it have to be? I mean any rough estimates on your head size and how larger it needs to be to fit your dreads?

    i think biout 24 inches round the hairline (if you wanna make 1 ill try to get a more accurate measurement)
    \and i was told to ball it all up ontop and measure from front hairline to back over the bvall and that was 24 too
    but was just loosely piled so may not be accurate?
    id guess 24 round the bottom and 30 or so in volume would be good, especialy if there was an elastic band or drawstring or something that would pull the back tight around my head to hold it so the weight wont pop it off

    i dont think exrtra room for the volume would hurt
    just think there has to be something round the bottom to keep it good and snug

    perhaps elastivc that when off the head pulls it toght to 22 but can expand as much as 26 to make it ez to get on but fits tight once on?
