Sizing
Designed to be worn with approx 2.5 to 5cm (1 to 2in) negative ease compared to head circumference.

Some sizes have the same circumference, but different depths.

If you’re choosing between two sizes with the same circumference, measure from the top of your neck, over your head to 2.5cm (1in) below the hairline at your forehead.

Pick the size with the hat depth nearest to half this measurement.
