DO THE HATS COME IN DIFFERENT SIZES?
If you've fallen in love with a ZIG from the site you can always go up a size, or the hat can be stretched up to 1cm. Otherwise, a custom order can be placed where the size is tailored to your head specifically.
Each ZIG is one-of-a-kind, like a piece of art. Custom orders can certainly draw upon inspiration from other ZIGS, however the final piece will be unique to your badass self.
HOW DO I MEASURE MY HEAD?
For a traditional fit, grab a clothing measuring tape, place around the back of your head at the base, just above your neck. Bring both ends of the tape around the front, in the middle of your forehead and measure the size – for most adults it'll range between 53cm – 63cm. Ensure there is an index finger's width above the top of your ear and the measuring tape, so that your ZIG sits above your ears.
For a halo fit, grab a clothing measuring tape, place around the back of your head at the base, just above your neck. Bring both ends of the tape over the top of your head, place 2cm back from your forehead hairline and measure the size – for most adults it'll range between 53cm – 63cm.
Be sure to check your measurement and repeat the process a few times. If you're between sizes, it's best to choose the size up. Remember, the hat fit is totally up to you as long as you feel comfortable, so wear it how you will.
WHAT IF THE HAT DOESN'T FIT?
It’s all gravy baby!
There are a few little tricks to ensure your ZIG fits. If it's too small you can wet the inside sweatband at the front and back. Pull the ZIG forwards and backwards with a little jiggle, this loosens the sweatband. A hat stretcher is also a great option!
Ensure to keep the ZIG on your head for as long as possible. The more you wear it, the more it'll form to your head shape, kinda like wearing in a new pair of boots!
If the ZIG is too big you can add hat filler/foam tape on the inside of the sweatband.
If all else fails, get in touch via the Contact page to organise a return so the ZIG size can be altered by the hatmaker.
