You are measuring your head exactly where the hat will sit in either inches or centimeters.If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.Then buy a fabulous vintage hat from MadgeSEE OUR HAT SIZING CHART HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE HAT Vintage Hat CareAlways handle vintage hats by the brim, not the crown. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in a hatbox or covered with acid-free tissue to prevent dust. Avoid using modern sprays or steam, as these can damage delicate materials and trims. For reshaping or cleaning, it’s best to consult a professional milliner experienced in vintage restoration.
