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.
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'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.
Round up to the next size. You are guaranteed a comfortable fit and can simply adjust the hat if needed.

I ordered the plain black Gilly Fedora and I'm very happy with it. The delivery was incredibly quick, and the hat itself is very stylish and lightweight. It is definitely travel-friendly and easy to pack—I can't wait to take it on my upcoming trip! Highly recommend.

I tried on the Gilly Fedora hat, and it fits very well because of the drawstrings inside the hat. I ordered the colour, Wheat and am pleased with both the colour and the fit.

From the time of ordering, until the delivery, it all went quickly for which I am grateful. I will be taking it, to my daughter in the UK, next week and will be gifting it to her. She is looking forward to wearing it during their current summer season.
