It’s not enough to like a hat, the hat has to like you, too. There’s more to consider than hat size and shape, as you can hear in this podcast when headwear specialist Rosie Boylan and hat shop manager Robert Carroll work with model Damian Damjanovski to find the right hat. They consider Damian’s headshape, face, weight, colouring, personality, clothing preferences, age, and where he wants to wear the hat.

The podcast shows clearly the benefits of shopping somewhere that specialises in hats and can advise you.

Thanks to all at Strand Hatters in Sydney for their hospitality, expertise and willingness to let us use their stock for this podcast.

An open crowned blog

An open crown is one that hasn't yet been given a shape by bashing or pinching. The hat may be left open crowned or it might be styled by its owner to his taste.
