What to consider when choosing a hat

Rosie Boylan, Damian Damjanovski, and Robert Carroll trying on hats at Strand Hatters in Sydney
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.

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.
