Measure your head, not your memory
Run a soft tape around your head about an eighth of an inch above your ears and across the middle of your forehead — where the hat will actually sit. Keep the tape level and snug, not tight. Measure twice.
One important correction: your fitted baseball cap size is not your fedora size. Caps stretch, sit differently, and are built on a different last. Measure properly, or better yet, get fitted.
How our sizing works
The house uses four sizes across Wool and Straw: Small (6 7/8 to 7), Medium (7 1/8 to 7 1/4), Large (7 3/8 to 7 1/2) and X-Large (7 5/8 to 7 3/4). Spacers are included inside each hat so you can fine-tune the fit at home.
The Beaver Collection is different. Beaver pieces are custom fitted — we size them to your head rather than to a chart, because a hat at that level should not compromise.
Brim and crown
A 4 inch straight brim with a bound edge is the house signature: architectural, modern, and photographs with real presence. Narrower brims read more traditional; wider brims read more editorial.
The center crease crown is the classic fedora shape. It reads sharp from the front and elegant from the side, and it holds up to travel.
Material
Beaver felt is the pinnacle — water-resistant by nature, lighter and warmer than wool, and it conforms to your head over time. Wool felt is structured, resilient and made in the USA; it recovers well from travel. Straw, handwoven in Cuenca, is the warm-weather answer: exceptionally light and breathable.
The feather changes everything
No feather is the most formal expression — clean, quiet, boardroom and black tie. A short feather adds a controlled accent, ideal for daily wear with tailoring. A longer statement feather turns the hat into the centrepiece of the outfit; wear it when you intend to be seen.
Come in if you can
If you are anywhere near a Kerry Kouture location, book a private fitting. Thirty to forty-five minutes with the hats in your hands will tell you more than any chart — and you will leave with the right size, the right material and the right feather.

One correction worth knowing: your fitted baseball cap size is not your fedora size. Caps stretch and sit differently — measure properly, or come in and let us do it.
