How to determine your hat size:

To determine your head size, use a measuring tape to measure around your head above your ears where you would wear your hat. If your head size falls in between two sizes choose the larger of the two sizes. A small piece of foam behind the sweatband can make a large hat fit perfect.

XS = 20-3/4 to 21 inches or Size 6-5/8 to 6-3/4
S = 21 to 21-1/2 inches or Size 6-7/8 to 7
M = 22 to 22-1/2 inches or Size 7-1/8 to 7-1/4
L = 22-3/4 to 23 inches or Size 7-1/4 to 7-3/8

Most women's hats are available only in One Size Fits Most. Actual sizing varies from designer to designer, but in general they will fit a head with a circumference of 21-1/2 to 22-1/4 inches. Some hats will fit a smaller or bigger head depending on the style.

JANUARY 15TH IS NATIONAL HAT DAY............., WEAR A HAT!!!

January 15, 19?? - While the exact year is unknown, January 15 marks the unofficial National Hat Day. The origin of this “holiday” is unknown but the rumor is that it was merely started by hat enthusiasts for no other reason but to celebrate their favorite hats!

The golden rule, which supersedes all of the known rules, is to wear a hat you feel comfortable and confident in, in a style which fits the occasion. If you feel you look good wearing a certain hat, then you probably do!!

 Head-wear both defines generations and defies easy categorization.  A look at the types of hats people wore tells us a bit about the time they lived in and also about what we're saying to the world when we wear them.
