Kasai Fedora - SA MADE
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.

This hat traveled with me from Cape Town to Zimbabwe, and is still in pristine condition! I love it - the perfect hat - and makes great pictures!
So in love with this hat! It's the most beautiful, elegant, and practical hat I've ever had the pleasure of owning! Who knew these features could co-exist? The UPF50+ was a critical feature for me to protect my skin from the extreme UV in S.A. Now I can enjoy my summer walks without looking like I'm dressed to go on a safari! It also does a good job keeping the beating heat from direct sun off the top of my head too! I love that it's packable/crushable, now I can finally own a decent sized, pretty hat that travels! The adjustable strap inside is fantastic. It's smooth and so quick to just tug tighter or push to loosen, and no ugly string under my chin. It's strong enough to withstand beach wind! The size is perfect for me, big enough to cover my shoulders and look elegant, but not too big that it's obnoxious and in the way. The stiff design makes sure it stays straight and doesn't flop around and cover my face and field of vision. The fabric is soft to the touch, which is lovely. It's top quality. The leather detail is my favourite decor/accent that I've seen on a hat so far. And the colour is not as white as I expected, which I was disappointed for at first, it's more off-white, but now I'm so glad because it's still bright and looks gorgeous on my skin, much better than my pure white hat. I've gotten compliments on my hat. It's an absolute summer essential, a quality investment! Thank you Emthunzini for this impeccable craftsmanship!
My hat was perfect for the heat of Sabi Game Reserve. It stayed perfectly on my head during our game drives, thanks to the hidden adjustable strap and no worries of a string tied around my neck. A game changer from the trucker caps I used to wear in the bush. Thank you for a great product!!
Just beautiful! Will work perfect for our December holiday🌺
Great service, received my order within a few days! Love the quality. Can't wait to use it!
Love my new sun hat. Absolutely lovely!
