    ONE SIZE FITS ALL PRODUCTS

    For products with no size options, they are one size fits all. For any products that have sizes, see the size table below.

    FACE MASKS

    How to choose your size

    The snugness of a mask is a personal preference. To determine your best fit, we recommend measuring from behind one ear, across the mouth and behind the other ear. Then compare that measurement to the “Total Length” measurement listed below. Please choose wisely, as masks can not be exchanged, returned or refunded due to COVID-19 health risks.

    Size Total Length Fabric Length Pleated Width Expanded Width
    Medium 33 - 35cm 19 - 21cm 5.5 - 7cm 14 - 16cm
    Large 37.5 - 39.5cm 19 - 21cm 5.5 - 7cm 14 - 16cm
    XS (Young Kids) 29-31cm 17-19cm - -
    S (Teens) 32 cm 19cm - -

    UNISEX BUCKET HATS

    How to choose your size

    Using a measuring tape (or string and ruler), measure the circumference of your head where you prefer your hat to sit (across your forehead is the usual measurement). The fit of one’s hat is a personal preference, and the below size grid is based on our most popular customer choices for their respective measurement. If you prefer a larger fit, go up a size (and vice versa). The sweat band on some of our bucket hats is elastic to provide a more versatile and comfortable fit.

    Size Head Circumference Guide
    Medium 55 - 57 cm
    Large 57 - 59cm

    UNISEX STRAW & WOOL HATS

    How to choose your size

    Using a measuring tape (or string and ruler), measure the circumference of your head where you prefer your hat to sit (across your forehead is the usual measurement). The fit of one’s hat is a personal preference, and the below size grid is based on our most popular customer choices for their respective measurement. If you prefer a larger fit, go up a size (and vice versa). The natural fibre of straw and wool does tend to morph with your shape over time, so expect your hat to become even more comfortable the more you wear it!

    Face Masks

    • Your mask has been hot-ironed for sanitary purposes and we encourage you to cold hand wash & iron your mask again prior to wearing.
    • Cold hand-wash to delay discolouration or shrinkage… Or cold-machine wash in a delicate bag, knowing this may eventually cause some wear and tear.
    • Do not tumble dry, as this may shrink or damage your mask.
    • Iron at a suitable temperature, cautious not to burn or melt the elastic or fabric.
    • Hot-ironing can reportedly assist with sanitisation, however overuse of steam can shrink or mark fabric and elastic.
    Plastic Face Shields

    We have been advised by a healthcare worker that an effective method of cleaning is spraying a clean cloth with disinfectant and wiping down the shield. It has been suggested that spraying directly onto the shield may cause particles to disperse. This method has not been clinically tested or proven, so this cleaning method is a suggestion only.

    Straw & Wool Hats

    Remove dust with a dry cloth, or very carefully (and sparingly) spot clean with a damp, clean cloth. Being natural fibres, it is important to note that straw and wool hats can be easily damaged with excessive moisture or rubbing.

    100% Cotton Bucket Hats

    Cold hand-wash to delay discolouration or shrinkage. Alternatively, you can cold-machine wash in a delicate bag, knowing this may eventually cause some wear and tear. Do not tumble dry, as this may shrink or damage your mask.

    Scarves

    Silk scarves should be dry cleaned only. Other scarves may be cold hand-washed to delay discolouration or shrinkage, or cold-machine wash in a delicate bag, knowing this may eventually cause some wear and tear. Do not tumble dry, as this may shrink or damage your scarf. Iron at a suitable temperature, cautious not to burn or melt the elastic or fabric. Hot-ironing can reportedly assist with sanitisation, however overuse of steam can shrink or mark fabric and elastic.

    Fascinators & Headpieces.

    Remove dust with a dry cloth, or very carefully (and sparingly) spot clean with a damp, clean cloth.
