For this product from our handcrafted Collection, please follow the following sizing advice...
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. It may help to either do this in the mirror or have someone to help for accuracy. Measure in centimetres. If your measurement falls between sizes, round up to the nearest half centimetre and/or email your exact measurement to our team and this note will be added to your order. For more information view our Info pages, FAQs or contact our team for advice.
We also offer a professional measuring service at the SWAINE London Burlington Arcade store.

All our hats are completely bespoke & handcrafted to order from only the finest sustainably sourced materials here at Herbert Johnson. We work closely with our fur felt hood suppliers in Portugal, choosing only the highest quality fur felt which is ordered to our exacting specifications.
All our felts are pre-shrunk during the blocking stage to avoid later shrinking as much as possible. Our rabbit is pounced to a smooth finish and a coating of protector is applied to prolong its resistance to the elements. Whilst not as dense as our beaver fur felts, our rabbit makes a very fine quality fur felt hat.
Our true grosgrain Indy ribbon is screen accurate to the original film hats, still produced to the same specifications for us by the same company using the very same machines.

Hat Care Advice For Fur Felts
Care: Store your hat somewhere cool & dry, preferably in a hat box. We recommend using a hat jack to help retain the hats shape. Do not stack with other hats. If your hat gets wet, leave it to dry naturally. In the case of any damage or loss of shape sustained by mishandling, then please contact your hatter for help & advice.
Cleaning: Dirt or marks should first be cleaned with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to prevent catching or snagging. If any marks persist, try cleaning with a moist baby-wipe or mild soap and water. Care should be taken not to rub too hard. The use of any cleaning detergents are not recommended.
Leather Product & Component Care:
When not in use, store your leather product somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. We recommend using a soft lint free cloth to clean any minor dust or dirt from the surface of the leather. Try using a damp baby-wipe for any more stubborn marks but take care not to overwork it or rub too hard. Leather feed is available in store or via the Swaine Adeney website www.swaine.london. The specialist swaine Adeney leatherworkers also offer a professional care & repair service in store and via their website.
