This listing is for the Extra Wide Brim version of my “Hawaiian” lauhala style hat in Green. (Last pic of photo gallery shows Brown version for size/fit reference) IMPORTANT: Please make sure to measure your head according to the instructions below. Brim: 6"-6.5"; Crown height 2.5-3" (approximately). If there is a bend in the hat, it can be reshaped by hand or ironed. This means that it can be packed! Traditional lauhala papale cost between $400-$1000 due to the advanced craftsmanship & many hours that it takes to make a single hat. This version has a looser weave than the tightly woven Lauhala hats. It’s an inexpensive alternative that allows more people to enjoy the spirit of Aloha! These are handmade along with Balinese artisans (not factory produced) using natural material. Therefore, some minor imperfections/inconsistencies in the weave, color or fit may occur. SIZING: Hat Circumference is measured towards the bottom of the crown. The hat tapers to a smaller size towards the top of the crown (the part that will fit around the top of your head). If in between sizes, it is recommended to size up a little bit. Please measure your head using the instructions in the listing pictures. The bottom of the hat should rest comfortably (not too tight) about 1/2" above your eyebrows. Keep in mind that thick hair can make the hat rise up/not rest on your head so try not to pull the measuring tape too tight around your head. I carefully measure each hat but they are handmade so the sizes are approximate. Generally speaking, 52-53cm is XS, 54-55cm is S, 56-57cm is M & 58cm+ is L. SHIPPING/RETURNS: As a small business, I do not pad my prices to account for returns. I will make an exception to my “no returns” policy if a S&H fee of $30 is taken out of the return price, due to it costing me $15 to ship this hat each direction.
