lotus pompon
Our Lotus hat is a type of cloche with a high, slightly pointed crown, which makes it stand out from other more rounded cloche shapes. Here it is decorated with two pompons made of marabou feathers, on the front of the crown, in striking contrast to the rest of the hat. Without any doubt, this is the chicest hat of the season!
It is easier to get someone to take your head measurement than to do it yourself. However, this is how it is done.
Take a tape measure and place one end in the centre of your forehead at around the level where you would like your hat to sit, usually between one and two centimetres above the eye brows. Pass it around your head and back to the middle of your forehead. If there are any bumps make sure these are included.
This should read between 55 and 59 centimetres for most women, and between 56 and 62 centimetres for most men. Add a half centimetre to the reading unless you want the hat to be very tight.
Remember, if it is too tight it may leave a red mark on your forehead.
