Audrey Classic
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.

Love my Audrey hat. Will really keep the sun off. The exceptional service I got when I ordered was something that has become a rarity these days. I ordered on Monday morning, requested if I could possibly have it by Friday, got notification within an hour that it was with the courier company and it was delivered yesterday, Wednesday. Highly recommend them. Thank you.

My wife loves the hat. She used it during a breakaway daily in very sunny days. It blocks the sun very well. She has the same hat type in a different colour. She loves the hats.

I absolutely love my stylish hat which I will be taking on my trip to Malaysia and I am sure, wearing everyday! The entire experience, from ordering, payment, being kept informed on progress, to delivery, was seamless and hassle free. I recommended Sunhats to many of my friends.

Very positive experience from the start. It was easy and quick to order and the delivery was within 2 days. I will definitely order again. Quality is very good and it is even prettier as on the photo.

Love this hat, purchased recently about a week ago. Perfect fit and can be adjusted. Love that it looks extra stylish and yet covers the sun well…so happy with this hat. Bought the black and white and looking at getting the black too.
Rubina 5/5 Verified
The best hat I’ve owned lightweight and easily gets back to original shape once it’s been in the suitcase. Excellent coverage for Bangkok heat! Beige hat would look lovely as well in this design similar to 2 tone black/white.

It's a cute hat and the brim can be turned up or down. Very suitable for packing & travel. Consider making a ivory and biscuit colour one?

This is the second hat I've bought from Sunhats. I love the Audrey, it's gorgeous and well-made and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. I love the wide brim and that it's foldable and travel friendly.
