5 out of 5 starsI was immediately smitten with this hat, and knew I had to have it, as the finishing touch to my Easter day outfit. Perfection is the only word -as that covers everything from the beautiful construction of the hat, to the care of how it was packaged for shipment, to the prompt communications, and speedy delivery. Thank-you for an exceptional shopping experience. I am a very happy customer.

Additional policies and FAQs
First, you will need a tape measure. Place the end of the measuring tape in the middle of your forehead about 1 inch above your eyebrows. Wrap the tape around your head ( make sure this is above your ears). Slip one finger under the tape for ease. Take the measurement. Repeat twice for accuracy. The size will range from 20-25 inches. ( 22 1/2 -23 inches is average if a standard store-bought hat fits you perfectly should be within this range.)
