Men tend on average to have larger skulls. The matter of race and gender in skull size and shape is noted at http://www.hatlife.com/headsize.php Nothing should be inferred about any of this except people's head shapes are different - just input into measuring your hat size. The important message is that people do not have perfectly round heads as assumed in the formula to determine hat size. Noreen
