The rise of cinema popularised softer hat shapes, but in Britain’s unpredictable weather, the cap became the practical choice for all. Emerging from this period, the Gatsby cap was embraced by both the fashionable elite and the everyday worker.

Today, the Gatsby cap is remembered as the style worn by Michael Delaney (Steve McQueen) in the 1970s movie Le Mans.

Place the string or tape around your head above your ear and across the mid forehead, completely circling your head. Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. Measure your head exactly where you want the hat to sit. Measure in centimetres. If your measurement falls between sizes, round up to the nearest centimetre. It may help to either do this in the mirror or have someone to help for accuracy.

A professional measuring service is also available at our Swaine stores on New Bond Street and at the Burlington Arcade.
