Hat Fit Guide
How To Determine Your Hat Size
Once you've chosen your style, you'll need to know your hat size to achieve a secure, comfortable fit. As a rule of thumb, your hat should be reasonably snug so that a light wind won't blow it off your head, but not be so tight as to cause discomfort or distraction. Here are two techniques to get the perfect fit.
The Measuring Tape Method:
Start with a measuring tape (or a piece of string you can measure later), and wrap it around your head, placing it where your hat will sit- typically, at the middle of your forehead and about 1/8" above your ear. Hold the tape firmly, but not uncomfortably tight. Find your size using the chart below. If your measurement falls between sizes, order a size up; you can always add a bit of padding in the sweatband to achieve the perfect fit.
Hat Care Tips
To remove dust or surface dirt from your hat:
Straw- simply wipe with a clean damp cloth.
Fur Felt- use a soft brush starting at the left side of the hat and brush counterclockwise toward the back and around again.
If your hat gets wet:
Straw - simply shake off the excess water.
Fur Felt / Wool- you need to turn down the “self-conforming” leather sweatband and stand the hat on the sweatband so it can dry naturally. While the hat is wet, don’t rest the hat on its brim as this will cause it to alter the shape.
Avoid exposing your hat to heat from stoves, radiators, lamps and car windows. The combination of heat and perspiration will shrink the sweatband.
To keep perspiration and hair dressing from penetrating the outside of the straw, occasionally turn down the sweatband so it can dry naturally between wearings.
Should your fur felt (if it is a light color) become spotted with water or grease, you can clean it with a little baby talc or cornstarch – NO liquid cleaners – please.
To put on or remove your hat, hold the brim in the front or back; handle the crown as little as possible.
Store your hat upside down, on its crown, on a clean surface or in a box. Do not store it right side up on a flat surface, as this will cause the brim to lose shape and flatten.
