Vintage Hats

I found the best way is to measure the diameter, front to back and side to side. (If you add those two numbers up then divide by two, you should arrive at the circumference. The brim, underneath from edge to bead. The hat crown is measured from the bottom of the hat band, located directly in the middle of the crease, to the middle dip of the crown. In parenthsis is the stated measurement (7 1/8) or an (est. 71/4) estimate.
