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.

HEADBANDS, FASCINATORS & HEADPIECES

How to choose your size

Most of our headbands, fascinators and headpieces are one size. Pieces attached with a comb or clip have an adjustable fitting, so they can be positioned to suit your head shape and hairstyle. If you would like to check a piece against your own measurements, wrap a tape measure around your head about 1cm above your ears, across the mid-forehead, and note the circumference.

Headband dimensions

Our headbands measure approximately:

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.

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!

Size Small Medium Large Extra Large
Head Circumference 55cm 57cm 59cm 61cm
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 hat.

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.
