Would you please take the time to take the correct hat measurements? There's nothing more disappointing than receiving a hat that doesn't fit. Make sure of the recipients' size if gifting. All garments are measured twice as accurately as possible.
If you have any other questions about the hat, don't hesitate to ask.
HOW TO TAKE HAT MEASUREMENTS
First, you'll need a dressmaker's tape measure. Start at the center of the forehead, 1 inch above the brow, and measure around the head. Make sure the tape measure is above the ears. Mark the number; this is your head size.
To wear the hat higher, you should measure the forehead higher above the brow.
Some hats are meant to sit on top of the head. In this case, go with the era or style you would like to portray. Juliette and Pillbox hats sit on the head's crown.
(Note this hat has a 20 3/8" inside sweatband circumference)
For example, The head size measured 24", and your hat size is 7 5/8. Here is a breakdown of what measurements. (Note this hat has a 21 1/16" inside sweatband circumference)
