I have those options too.
OK, so what is the difference in brim between small and large?
FYI, I have a bunch of boonies, including 2 marine covers, in XL, desert and marpat, so I have those for comparison.
I see you mentioning the Tan 499, but the order form only has multicam and Kryptek, so I guess other colors and size are later specified in Paypal

I have a large collection of boonies dating back to the 1980s for reference and lessons-learned.
Small brims are close to or a bit shorter than most military boonies (depending on the vendor), with a 2.75" brim from headband to the rim as a measure.
Large brims are 3.5", so a bit larger than most military boonies.
I also just made a 4" XL brim that isn't listed yet, so I can really do whatever you want. You want a MC Sombrero with a Size 8 head, we can do it.
We can also do double thickness brim material if you want a more stiff vs floppy boonie.
I've also done more conventional boonies custom-order, but with my approach to ventilation.
I prefer to communicate with customers to get the exact size and confirm what they want, so every order is followed with an email determining the details.
No matter what color you order, there is plenty of time to get exactly what you want if we have the material.

So, I placed an order and then we talked a bit. Its my flecktarn hat.
He did some searching, and later made changes to get the superior pattern material you see there for the hat.
1st priority was customer satisfaction.

Thanks for the feedback PVBoom.
When we get your order, I reach out to you to get sizing and head shape info for your particular fit.
This isnt a one size fits most type of thing, but a hat made for you.
You can specify head shape (tall dome, normal, short), brim size, veil length, or custom add-ons.
Over time, Ive found that a shorter veil serves most peoples interests perfectly.
For mowing the lawn or hiking, especially in high heat, you can soak the hat in cold water, drip-dry it, then put it on and have natural A/C. It feels like cheating.

I recently added a wire brim option to shape the brim edge how you want on-the-fly.
It worked well for me in a dust storm in conjunction with sunglasses and the mesh veil, while those around me were getting dust in their eyes.

Were expanding capacity to meet increasing demand.
Instead of selling-out to foreign labor, we're exclusively employing veterans with relevant end-user experience to ensure the type of quality and practical design features we demand.
We have some exciting things in-progress that focus on American manufacturing and veteran-enabled ownership.

Faucet is turned up a bit on Boonie Hats after networking with another veteran who Ive known since 2001.
Helped build his first Ghillie suit for him once he got assigned to the Recon Platoon in our Battalion, and he got interested in making his own gear ever since.
Were tag-teaming production now, which has lifted a huge amount of workload off of me and allowed us to fill orders faster.
Youre getting a quality product custom-fit and hand-crafted by guys who know how important outdoor clothing and gear is from an end-user perspective.

Now that warmer weather is upon us, get your orders in.
The new Multicam stretch fabric is really nice.

When you place your order, I will contact you via email and get your exact head measurements, both circumference and dome height ear-to-ear to ensure you get a well-fitted hat.
Fitting is more important on these due to the ear muff band, so I take steps to get it right the first time.

Its getting hot out there folks.
If you dont have one of these Boonie Hats in your life, do yourself a huge favor and see what its all about.
I soak mine in ice water and let it saturate the veil, drip dry, and go out into the heat.
It feels like cheating at life.
