HOW TO FIND YOUR CORRECT HAT SIZE

Even the most accurate measurement of your head (which we will teach you here) doesn’t always mean the hat you receive will be a perfect fit. There are many factors that can get in the way of receiving the perfect fit on the first try. One is the use of natural materials. Sometimes leather or certain straw hats for example can be slightly thicker or thinner with each batch of material, even when sewing a hat the technician can use a little bit less or more pressure and the size will be slightly affected. So hat sizing isn’t an exact science but an accurate measurement of your head is a good place to start. That along with working with a hat brand that cares about you getting the perfect hat for you. WE PROVIDE FREE SIZE INSERTS IN EVERY ORDER JUST INCASE YOU NEED THEM.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Does the hat brand you are considering offer free sizing tape in case the hat is slightly too large? We add 2 free size inserts in every order, if you need more please contact us!

Does the hat brand offer hassle free, free returns in case the hat doesn’t fit for any reason? Add our Re:do option at checkout for free exchanges.

Does the hat brand have a crew of hat experts to help you in case there is a sizing problem? Call us or email we will help you!

WE DO WHAT IT TAKES TO FIND YOU THE PERFECT FIT!

 LETS GET STARTED ON YOUR HAT SIZE

  • Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string (not elasticized or stretchy).
  • Place the tape measure or string on your forehead and measure the circumference about 1/2 inch or 1.5cm above your ears, about where your hat would sit.

  • If you have another hat that shows the size, you can use that information. 
  • Check the length of the tape measure or string to determine your size. (if using a string, hold it up against a ruler)
  • Use the size charts on the product pages to find your perfect fit. For example, if your measurement comes to 22 inches or 56cm, then you would choose a size Medium hat.
  • Make sure you measure your head multiple times and get 2 measurements that are the same to be 100% sure.

*If you fall in between sizes, choose the next biggest size. We will send two free size inserts with every hat ordered, just incase your hat needs a slight reduction. If you need more than 2 please reach out we can send you more.

See the size charts above. Your hat is either an individual size like Small or Medium or Large etc. or uses a stretch band that covers 2 sizes like Small/Medium and Large/X-Large. Each size can cover a slight range but that is OK, choose the size in your range.

Brilliant until you wash it!

"My husband bought this hat while on holiday in America. Has loved it and enjoyed wearing it. Sadly it got grubby so I lovingly washed it! Big mistake. It is now misshapen and he can no longer wear it."

— Elaine C. (3/5)

Really like this hat

"It looks cool and it is cool. I got to put this hat through its paces on a recent trip to Europe. I ordered a medium and it was just a smidge tight, but not enough to exchange. I contacted Conner and they advised how to stretch it a little, and that worked perfectly. I had to strecth it every few days or so, but that was NO problem. It is very comfortable andit was very protective as it was used extensively in rainy weather. It protected me well. it was crushed in a suticase a few times and always came back to its original form. Great hat, most satisfied."

— John D. (5/5)

Non symmetrical construction

"I like the intended design of the hat but the strap holes are not symmetrical. Totally annoying as it causes hat to fold incorrectly when using straps."

— George W. (2/5)

Rain Hat for Summer Months

"Excellent summer rain hat for casual dress."

— John D. (5/5)

Lightweight and comfortable

"My only complaint is that the hat is not uniform on each side. Meaning, one side curve up and the other side not so much. I would buy this hat again."

— William T. (5/5)

Great hat, lightweight, cool, dunkable

"Cooler than a ball cap, great at beach/boat, dunkable to cool off and quick dry while retaking shape On another note, terrific customer service with follow up after inquiring about shipping and getting it on time for beach vacation"

— Jeff T. (5/5)
