| Determining Your
Hat Size |
Hat size is based
on the circumference of the head. In order to determine the proper hat
size, you must take a measurement of your head.
|
Using a tape measure, or a
piece of string, measure your head about one-half inch above your eyebrows
where your hat will rest. Be certain that the tape measure is straight,
not twisted. If you are not certain about size, or are between sizes, buy the
larger size.
|
Use the chart below to
determine your hat size.

| *How To Measure - Measure around the widest
part of the head, just above the eyebrows. Use a tape
measure; if you don't have a tape measure, use a string
and then measure the resulting string length with a
ruler. |
| **Age of Child - The head grows to
almost 80 per cent of the adult size during the child's
first year. We have found that for hat sizing purposes
head measurement is more important than the child's age.
That is why that with the exception of infants, we do
not list sizes by age. Our experience with Kangol Hats
for Kids has shown us that the size small is very small
and only fits infants. Please measure your child's head.
OTHER THAN FOR INFANTS, AVOID SIZE SMALL. |

| Shape of Your Head
- Long Oval |
Some heads are more elongated and in hat parlance
are described as long oval. DelMonico Hatter has the ability
to shape any hat to be long oval. If a long oval wearer buys a regular
oval hat, the hat will not be comfortable and the brim will pull and
wrinkle. When ordering, please tell us if you want your hat to be made
long oval. It is not necessary to shape a fabric hat or cap to the long
oval size.
