    Crown height ?

    Totally agree. My tag line kinda emphasizes that. The wearer should know if the hat is right for them, or not. The mirror doesn't lie! ;)

    Newest Modern Hat makers?

    I don't think you could swing a cat and not hit a few pretty darn good ones right here in the Lounge. ;) But I do agree.. context would narrow it down a bit.

    Hat making?? Learning Millinery..

    Looking for hat information?

    If you browse the internet, you may find one or two charts that help as well. Also, it is a bit different if you're wearing a fedora or a Western hat. I have an oblong shaped face and most of my Western hats are 3 1/2 to 4" brims with a low to medium finished crown height that's slightly...

    Looking for hat information?

    If you were my customer, I'd say no. The hat doesn't match the shape of your face. In my tag line, I say; "There's nothing worse than a great hat on the wrong head" And that is a great hat. Both a narrower crown with a bit of a taper and a narrower brim, or maybe just a turned up brim shape...
