Men's Hats

Born in Ancient Egypt, the hat's primary function was to cover the head from the sun's strong rays. From being a shelter from the sun to being an accessory with strong cultural connotations, the hat acquired great importance worldwide and became a true fashion and style icon for all noble and aristocratic families.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the art of hat-making became a very important niche for the Italian economy. The hat became a real boast for the Italian craft sector, giving rise to iconic Made in Italy hat productions, in great demand worldwide today.

Men's hats: the models

Choosing such a personal and eccentric accessory as a hat requires great care and good taste. At a ceremony or a formal party, a panama hat lends a lot of elegance and sobriety to your look.

Whatever your choice, the hat must be perfectly matched and in tune with your outfit. The most popular men's hats are certainly the fedora and the drop hat.

During the warmer seasons such as spring and summer, the choice will shift to more summery materials and in particular to the much sought-after straw hats. This is not the case in winter, when felt and wool will dominate.

How to Choose the Right Hat Size

Choosing the correct hat size is very important for the use of the chosen hat. The sizes are different and are calculated in centimetres, which is very different from classic clothing sizes.

Hat sizes are calculated in centimetres and range from size 55 (the smallest) to 62 (the largest); in order to work out which size is right for you, you need to follow an extremely simple and quick procedure. To calculate your correct hat size all you have to do is take a dressmaker's tape measure, measure the circumference of your head by holding the tape measure just one centimetre above your ears, which is the point where your hat will fit perfectly.

If you don't have a tape measure, you can calculate the size simply by using a piece of string, a string or a shoelace from your shoes: in the same way as before, use the tape measure to calculate the circumference, mark with a pen or a felt-tip pen the point where the two parts of the shoelace meet and then use a ruler or a normal tape measure to measure the shoelace.
