Rosie
The Original Emthunzini Wind-Resistant Comfy-Fit Elastic Clip
Our hats come with either an inner drawstring or our unique Comfy-Fit elastic clip to adjust the size. Selected styles have both an internal and an external adjustment — simply adjust the chinstrap so it sits comfortably under your chin.
How to measure your head
All you need is a soft tape measure, ribbon or string
- Place the tape, ribbon or string around your head, just above your ears and about mid-forehead.
- Hold it firmly, but not too tight — it should feel the way you want the hat to feel.
- Mark the tape with a pencil to read your size.
- Using ribbon or string? Tie a small knot and measure the length in cm.
Which size should I choose?
Women
Most women's hats are 58 cm. For smaller heads and young ladies we have two petite styles at 55 cm: the Petite Gilly and the Petite Breton.
Men
Men's hats are generally 61 cm or 63 cm. Some men wear a 58 cm style — it depends on your preference and how the hat feels on your head.
In between sizes?
Round up to the next size. You are guaranteed a comfortable fit and can simply adjust the hat if needed.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 3.9 / 5 from 7 reviews.
The other two hats purchased in the order I am really happy with. This hat arrives and the stitching on the hat had loads of cotton hanging off and the material bits not trimmed off. We did not want to waste time sending it back, my wife is a dress maker so fixed it. But for the price you pay for these hats it was poor quality control after hat manufacture.
Store owner replied: Thank you for your review and for sharing the photo. We're very sorry that the finishing of this hat did not meet your expectations. Looking at your photo, we completely agree that the stitching and loose ends should have been finished more neatly. This should have been caught during our quality control, and we sincerely apologise. We appreciate that your wife was able to fix the issue, although we understand that this should not have been necessary. We're pleased to hear that you're happy with the other two hats from your order. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, as your feedback helps us improve. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help.
Sophisticated!
