Let us be transparent with the long answers behind the frequently asked questions.
WHAT SIZE HAT DO I BUY MY <?> YEAR OLD?
How long is a piece of string?
No one of us is the same, and that includes our head sizing.
We sell our items worldwide, and differing cultures have differing standard head sizing!
Generalising a head size by age is an 'assumption', and you know what they say about assumptions!
For this reason, we now label our hats by size, not age. To determine the correct fit for your child, please use our size guides available within each product specific to its design and choose via head circumference relevant to the little one you are buying for.
Should you dare to generalise knowing our strict return policy, please click here for the World Health Organisation child growth standards charts regarding head circumferences for age.
WILL YOU BE RESTOCKING THE FLOPPY HATS?
Yes. But our next restock is not anticipated until Spring 2025.
HOW DO I COMPARE THE SIZING OF YOUR 'ORIGINAL' FLOPPY SWIM HAT TO THE CURRENT NEW VERSION STOCK?
Please see below images of both size guides.
Top = current version
Bottom - original version
Example. If you are seeking what would have been the 6+ year size in the original version, this was a 54-55cm hat suited to a 52-53cm head size, therefore we suggest the current L size which is suited to a head size of 50-54cm
** Please ALWAYS measure your child's head size before purchase.
