Using a soft measuring tape, measure the circumference of your head as pictured below.
Using a soft measuring tape, measure the circumference of your head as pictured below
Once you have determined the size of the hat wearers head, chose a corresponding hat size. We recommend sizing up if you measure on or in-between size and adding hat fillers (from our accessories range) for a perfect fit
E.g if your head measures 55cm we would suggest choosing the 58cm and adding hat fillers

CARE FOR YOUR SHAYD
WOOL FELT HATS:
1. TO CLEAN A WOOL FELT HAT, BRUSH GENTLY COUNTER-CLOCKWISE WITH A SOFT BRISTLE BRUSH
2. SET YOUR HAT ON ITS TOP OR HANG FROM A PEG OR HAT HOOK TO HELP RETAIN ITS SHAPE. YOU CAN IRON THE BRIM ON THE WOOL SETTING TO STRAIGHTEN
3. IF YOUR HAT GETS WET, SHAKE OFF EXCESS WATER, LET DRY THE LIGHTLY BRUSH CLEAN
4. USE STEAM TO SHAPE AND CLEAN HAT - STEAM BRIM AND SET ON A FLAT SURFACE TO STRAIGHTEN BRIM
5. FOR HEAVY STAINS, POWDERED WOOL CLEANERS MAY BE USED
Hat brushes available here
STRAW HATS:
1. USE STEAM OR IRON TO STRAIGHTEN BRIM OR RE-SHAPE HAT
Whats the difference between 'straight' and 'raw' brim?
Straight brim has a structured sewn over edge of the brim to make it sit firmer and straighter. Raw brim is a raw cut to enable a little bit of 'flop'.
RAW BRIM STRAIGHT BRIM
What size hat should I purchase?
We highly recommend measuring the hat wearers head circumference, if you measure on the size it would be best to size up and purchase 'hat fillers' from our accessories section. This giving the hat a nice snug fit and room for growth for our little ones.
Are your hats UPF rated?
We are yet to get our hats officially tested by the ARPSANA, but wool has a minimum 20 to 50 UPF rating.
