Measure Your Head

Guatemalan Hats

The Guatemalan hat (most of the hats on our website) have a foam-padded cotton twill sweatband that tends to shrink about 1% with heat and moisture. This is about 1/2 of a hat size (1/16" diameter). If you are buying a GUATEMEALAN hat, we recommend buying a hat that is just a little bit loose to allow for this shrinkage. This usually means buying one size larger than you normally wear.

Mexican Hats

The Mexican palm leaf hats have an imitation leather sweatband that does not shrink and they tend to run a little large. On the Mexican hats you should buy your normal size.

To Determine Your Hat Size:

Measure around your head where you wear your hats in inches (circumference).
Use the following chart to determine your hat size:

Great Hat

I have lived in Texas all of my life and always wear hats when working outside. This hat is perfect for the Texas sun, especially now when the temperatures are running over 100 to 105 and up. I believe a good one, broad brim and higher crown, can help prevent heat stroke and a lot of problems summer can bring. I love mine and wear it all the time.

West Texas Parasol

In the suburbs of Portland we don't get much sun, but an umbrella is awkward when walking two dogs. The wide brimmed GUS is the perfect rain hat, and when somebody raises an eyebrow, my wife declares "All hat, no cattle!"
