Gerry
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.
