Sizing

Most Raven Millinery headpieces are a free size and secure to the head with elastic, a comb, or sometimes both. Our headband pieces are also free size. Handmade 'percher' style headbands come attached to the percher hats to ensure comfort and stability. 

Our brim hats are made to a standard women’s hat size of 22.5 inches (57.15cm). This suits most women, however, adjustments can be made when necessary. To check the correct hat size for you, measure the circumference of your head using a tape measure (or piece of string) from the front of your forehead (just above the brow line) around to the widest part of the back of your head, and then back around to the front. If your head size is slightly larger or smaller than 22.5 inches, please advise at the time of placing your order and we will customise the hat for you.

Care.

Millinery and headwear are made from delicate and sometimes vintage materials and require some special attention to keep them looking as good as new! 

All our hats and headpieces are lovingly packed in our hat boxes with acid-free tissue paper. In order to preserve their beauty, we recommend you keep them stored out of sunlight, in the hatbox, and in a cool and dry place with tissue paper for cushioning and shaping.

Avoid wearing your hat in the rain or getting it wet. Hats are primarily made by steaming the materials and shaping them onto a wooden hat block before drying and stiffening. If your hat gets wet while you are wearing it, it may undo the blocking process and distort the shape of your hat.
