Hat Sizing

If you are in between sizes or unsure of your hat size, we recommend sizing up and using a hat filler or hat sizing tape for the perfect fit.

Please read the description for each product to understand if there's any changes or design notes to take into account.

Small	55cm	21.6"
Medium	57cm	22.5"
Large	59cm	23.25"
Extra Large	61cm	24"

Finding your hat size

To find your personal hat size, you will have to measure the circumference of your head. You'll need either a flexible tape-measure or a long piece of fabric (i.e. scarf or string) and a ruler. Simply wrap it around your head about 2-3" above your eyebrows) to find the circumference.

Caring for your hat

If your hat needs a tune-up, we recommend using a soft bristle brush or lint roller to lightly clean it. If you have any stains on your hat, you can use an all-natural soap and white damp cloth to remove the stain. On our wool hats, stains may come out by using sandpaper. If your hat gets wet, allow it to dry on a flat surface so it maintains its shape.

Re-flatten or shaping the brim of your hat

If your hat is losing it’s shape or stiffness, you can easily reshape it at home. You will need an iron, ironing board, and damp sheet or cloth. Place the hat on an ironing board with a damp sheet covering brim where the iron will make contact. This will avoid the iron burning or scaring your hat. With steam, gradually iron the brim of your hat. Once done ironing, let your hat cool on a hard and flat surface for at least 10 mins.

Caring for your bag

Cabuya, the natural plant fiber we use for our bags, is plant dyed and spun by hand. Cabuya is a very strong and durable fiber, and it also softens and its character deepens with wear.

If you end up with a spot or stain on your bag, gently rub the spot with a damp white towel using a gentle, natural soap. It is important to understand that natural, plant-dyed fibers should be washed by hand in cold water and limited chemicals. Given it’s all-natural makeup, using harsh detergents or machine washing your bag will result in color fade. Hang or sit out to dry.

HOW TO FIND YOUR HAT SIZE

Our classic boater design in natural, toquilla palm straw. Handwoven by our artisan partners in Ecuador with a stiff, wide-brim and vegetable-tanned leather tie and strap for days spent under the sun.

Preorder for Late April - Early May.

Our wide-brimmed straw hats are made by a new group of artisans in a small mountain town near Cuenca, Ecuador. We partner with a fourth generation family of hat-makers to add the finishing touches.

Our hats are handmade and one-of-a-kind. This means that no two are exactly alike and almost all contain irregularities from size to color. Please allow for slight imperfections as this is what adds to the unique character of each hat and band.
