If you are not sure about your glove size, measure the hand you normally write with at its widest point in inches (excluding the thumb), then round down to the nearest half or whole number - this will be your glove size. Gloves sizes come in half and whole numbers, between 7 and 11½ for men and 6 and 8½ for women. For example, if your hand measures 8½ inches around its widest point (excluding the thumb), your glove size is 8½. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size. Gloves should be snug at first but will stretch.

Widest at the cheekbones, your face is highly angular, with a narrow forehead and a tapered chin. A moderate to wide brim with a pinched crown may be the best hat style for you.

Oblong Face
An oblong face is longer than it is wide, with fairly straight lines running from temple to jaw, and a round chin.
Try hats with a flared brim like wide brim fedoras, or hats like newsboys and cloches that sit low on the forehead. Avoid hats with narrow or flat brims, as these will overemphasize the long lines of your face.

Round Face
Your face is about as wide as it is long, with a wide forehead, full cheeks, and a rounded chin.
Try balancing out this face shape with a more angular hat. Because your face is very symmetrical, you can easily wear asymmetrical shapes, such as hats with a high crown and peaked or slanted brim. You can further accentuate this effect by slanting your hat forward. Avoid tall rounded crowns or wide crowns and brims, which will accentuate the roundness of your face.
Shop Our Round Face Collection
Square Face
A square face has a strong jawline, a wide forehead, and wide cheekbones.
If you’ve got a square face, soft designs like floppy hats or curvy lines like bowlers will be especially flattering for you.

Fedoras (fuller brimmed felt hats) became widely associated with gangsters and Prohibition, a connection coinciding with the height of the hat's popularity between the 1920s and the early 1950s. In the second half of the 1950s, the fedora fell out of favor in a shift towards more informal clothing styles, though Greasers wore the hats with their leather jackets and jeans. By the early 21st century, the fedora had become a symbol of hipsters, and later men's rights activists. Indiana Jones re-popularized the fedora in the Indiana Jones franchise, a hat which was made by Christys
THE FEDORA:
In the USA the Fedora has become a generic term for the fuller brimmed felt hat with dented crown. Whilst Trilby tends to denote its British cousin, purists sometimes draw a distinction between the two with the Fedora sporting a broader brim snapped down at the front. The look became popular following the staging of the French play 'Fedora' written in 1882 for the well-known actress Sarah Bernhardt who wore this new hat style. In the early 20th Century hat took on a more masculine form, crossed the gender divide and earned a reputation as a prohibition Gangster or G-Man's hat – a suave look with a hint of danger that helped to secure its popularity. This is the look of the Christys' Classic Fedora
