Our Ready-To-Wear products are often crafted and ready to ship with short lead times. Orders are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, typically within 7-14 days, though this may vary depending on order volume.

If you require your hat for a specific event, please place your order well in advance and inform our hatting workshop of any time-sensitive requests.

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.
