Choosing a color for fall
Earth tones such as camel, mink brown, olive, hunter green and cognac pair with tweed, camel coats and brown shoes. Burgundy, purple and red make a confident statement with charcoal and black. If you want one hat that goes with everything, choose black, navy or mink brown.
How to find your hat size
Measure around your head just above the ears and eyebrows. Most of our fedoras come in S, M, L and XL. Many have a built-in sizing string inside the sweatband to fine-tune the fit. Between sizes? Size up. Or visit our Baltimore store and try them on.

Snug enough that it stays on in a breeze, with no pressure line on your forehead after an hour. It should sit about an inch above your eyebrows and ears.
