How Do I Select a Hat That Fits? There are 3 keys to selecting the right hat for you:
- The hat must fit your eye. If you don’t like how you look in the hat; if it does not match your sense of style; it is likely to spend its life in the closet. Only you can determine if a hat fits your eye.
- The hat must fit your head. Your hat should hug your head but not squeeze your head. Comfortably snug when sitting properly on your head is the correct fit. Only you can determine if a hat fits your head.
- Finding the Right Fit. The best way to find the right fit is to start by measuring your head to determine your hat size. We can help you with that. See our Jacaru Hat Sizing Chart to help you find your size.
- Start with only the finest materials.
- Coupled with a catalog of classic & creative designs.
- To which they apply their knowledge and skills, honed over decades of experience.

How much depends in part on how it is maintained. See the Hat Sizing and Product Care information in the What to Know section of this site for more information.
