Purchasing a hat

When purchasing a hat you will need to choose a size. In order to do that you will need to know the head measurement of the person the hat is intended for. Measuring the head isn't difficult or complicated to do, but hopefully this quick guide will confirm how it's done.

To measure the head

You will need either a soft tape measure (dressmakers tape measure), or a piece of string and a regular tape measure to measure it against.

Head picture of a Victorian male with a measure line indicated around his forehead.
  Measure the circumference around the head keeping  the tape level and firm,
 just above the ears, across the forehead and over the  bump on the back of the head.
 As a guide -  take your head measurement and add approximately half an inch, for comfort, this will give your hat size for a TwiLd Capit Hog handmade hat. 
 

If you require a custom size, or a little help, you can send me a message here.

The vibrant tapestry of the Victorian carpet bag was the inspiration for this characterful Smoking Cap.

This handmade hat has a distinctive quilted tip of brown corduroy and paisley applique, using vintage fabric off cuts. A deep band of luscious vintage burgundy cotton velvet on the crown is highlighted by a band of olive brown cotton corduroy. The corduroy carries through to the inside of the hat to form part of the lining along with burgundy satin.

The quilted tip is finished with a complimenting vintage button to attach the removable tassel, which has been constructed using macrame and finished with the same paisley fabric used on the tip of the hat. Both the vintage button and tassel add to the uniqueness of this hat.

The velvet and corduroy crown can be fully turned up or lowered to give a more nonchalant look.

I make hats as unique as the people who wear them. This design, with its mix of fabric and trimmings, will be produced in a very limited number of two, since this is the last of the vintage burgundy velvet piece. 

An elegant cap based on the eastern looking lounge hat or fez of the 1860's/70's. The perfect gentleman's dress hat, wizard or magician's hat.

My Sunset fleece pillbox hat, Mens ethnic skullcap is beautifully made and actually fits my XL head. The hat is exquisitely made, fits perfectly and is nicely light. Thank you.

I love the design so much. The hat itself made-up silk, corduroy, gemstones and Completed with a tassel, it’s magnificent design is a modern spin of the classical smoking hats. I'm beyond pleased and privileged to own this. I proudly own three hats from this store, I'll be taking great care of them. I’m very lucky to have encountered Julie who is a marvellous artist here on Esty who’s creations haven given me a tremendous amount of joy.

Absolutely amazing, I saw this item in the medium size that was available, I knew I had to have it, I even messaged the owner if it was possible to make it in my size.

One day I logged on to Esty and there it was listed in my size, I knew immediately what I had to do, it was in two other peoples baskets, but no ! it was destined to me mine !

When it arrived I was astounded, the quality of materials and the craftsmanship was beyond anything I could imagined, this thinking cap was made and designed not to last years but to last decades. I am beyond delighted to own this Harris Tweed cap and I know I will grow old wearing it, I will keep it in great condition so when I have children I will pass it on to them. it was so great and fantastic I even bought another one and I'm thinking about buying a third one.
