I have a Nils Pol bowler which I use with my full auguste face. I have found that it is just too much, too big for the lighter look which I have been trying recently. But with more of a "full clown" style, it just fits nicely. When I bought it, I found it to be slightly larger than expected. This was a concern initially, but then I recognized that being a "clown" I could deal with it and funny it up. So if it is wobby on my head or falls over my eyes a bit, I just play it like that was SUPPOSED to happen (well not really, the seeming unexpected and uncalled for surprize is what makes it work, but I go with it. I can even routine getting the hat to stay on my head properly now with all kinds of trouble.) So I'd give it a go if I were you. If just might be the thing to fill out your needs. Do know, however (if you haven't tried a Nils Pol in the past) that they are awful heavy hats. Compared to Karen Bell's (one of which I also use) it is like a brick to a feather.
