Sizing Your Custom Hat

Only the very finest custom craftsmen understand that, to get the best fit in a hat, the shape of the head must be considered along with the size of the head.



Size is measured using a dressmaker's tape anchored at mid-forehead and pulled snugly around the head.



The resulting number of inches is then divided by Pi (3.1428) to calculate the hat size.
For example, a measurement of 22¾ inches results in a hat size of 7¼.



Three distinctly different head shapes, long oval, round oval and wide oval have a direct impact on the making of your custom hat.



For out-of-town orders and clients who may be unable to visit in person, The Custom Hatter can determine head shape and make recommendations on complimentary hat styles using photographs. Only two photos are necessary - one frontal shot of the face and head and one side profile.
