How to dress like a gentleman- A guide on the fitting of the gentleman's hat. Dress like a true gent
FIT
Selecting the right hat may appear easy, since there is only one measurement to attend to.
However, it is considerably more complicated than that. One needs to be aware, for instance, that
under humid conditions a hat can shrink by up to one complete size.
The hat should settle into place without any need to exert pressure and there should be no hint of a
wobble when the head is moved. In other words, one should hardly be aware of its presence.
Achieving the perfect style match is a more exacting task, since it involves an interplay of vital
statistics – the hat’s brim and crown sizes juxtaposed with the wearer’s height and skull dimensions.
To cite an example, small men should beware wide-brimmed hats. The matter quickly becomes
complex- pork pies, for instance, normally flatter small faces; Tyrolean hats need to be avoided by
men with full faces-but theory can be no substitute for methodical trial and error.
