Many factors affect the fit of a hat and how it sits on a head.

Factors affecting the fit of a hat that are related to the hat itself include:

• the style of the hat
• the materials from which the hat is made
• the elasticity of the material and stitching

Factors affecting the fit of a hat that are related to the wearer include:

• the circumference of the head
• the shape of the head
• the amount of hair and the hairstyle
• the level of snugness preferred

All the hats from this shop are made with a multi-fibre method. Each unique combination of fibres, style and stitching creates a fabric with varying elasticity and thickness. Some hats are very elastic and can accommodate heads across a few sizes.

The sizes of hats described in this shop are based on the following head circumferences:
