How to Get
the
Right-Sized
Hat
You can
get the best
fit by
actually
trying on
hats but if
you can't do
that, you
can actually
still get a
good fit by
using this
guide.
Everybody is
different in
how they
like their
hat to fit.
And within a
given size
there is
actually a
range
variation.
We sell
two types of
hats:
Guatemalan
palm leaf
and Mexican
palm leaf.
The
Guatemalan
hat have a
foam-padded
cotton twill
sweatband
that tends
to shrink
about 1%
with heat
and
moisture.
This is
about 1/2 of
a hat size
(1/16"
diameter).
If you are
buying a
GUATEMEALAN
hat, we
recommend
buying a hat
that is just
a little bit
loose to
allow for
this
shrinkage.
This usually
means buying
one size
larger than
you normally
wear.
The
Mexican palm
leaf hats,
on the other
hand, have
an imitation
leather
sweatband
that does
not shrink.
And they
tend to run
a little
large. On
the Mexican
hats you
should buy
your normal
size.
To
Determine
Your Hat
Size:
-
Measure
around
your
head
where
you wear
your
hats in
inches
(circumference).
- Use
the
following
chart to
determine
your hat
size:
