This is City Sport's handsome Wool Plaid Ivy Cap in brown. It is one of many great new caps this season by City Sport.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see Hats Plus’ 2012 collection of caps by City Sport. These handsome caps are among the highest quality we sell! Plus these new colors will blow your mind.

This season’s collection also features classic Harris and Donegal tweeds! These 100% wool caps are warm and perfect for cool weather. And even when it gets super cold, City Sport has you covered with extra warm cashmere-and-wool caps with earflaps!

All of the caps are expertly made with longetity in mind. Each ivy cap and newsboy cap features a stitched bill that will help the cap hold its shape. Most of these caps are insulated. Plus, they are satin lined to protect the outer shell from the oils in your hair.

There’s one last thing to especially keep in mind. Once these imported caps sell out of a design, City Sport won’t likely make that design again! Indeed. Get them while they are hot!

To get your hat size, measure the circumference of your head in inches and divide by pi.

That’s a span of roughly 5 inches, a big difference. So how do people determine a hat size, and why does it seem to fall in such a narrow range of numbers?

The official way to get your hat size in the United States is to measure the circumfrence of your head to the nearest eighth of an inch. Then you divide by pi (3.14). This will give you your official hat size. Every increase in hat size is 4/10ths of an inch.

Store owner Martin Mann said that the smallest adult size hat Hats Plus carries is 6 5/8.

Referring to the largest hat size he’s seen on a customer, manager Tod Canon said, “8 ¼ is the biggest we’ve seen here.”

Mann explained that when dress hats were more commonly worn, hatters made hats in sizes that better fit head shapes called “round,” “oval” and “long oval.” As not every head is shaped the same way, this provided better fits within the same measured size.

Just to make the matter more confusing, there is no universal hat sizing. In the United Kingdom, their sizes are one size smaller than ours. So if you walk into Christie’s to buy a bowler and tell the clerk you’re looking for a 7 3/8, it won’t fit. He’ll sell you a 7 ¼ that fits perfectly.

The French have their own system that designates sizes from zero to 9 ½ . The rest of Europe tends to stick with simply measuring the circumference of your head in centimeters. That is why your City Sport cap (from Belgium) and your Borsalino fedora (from Italy) list their hat sizes in centimeters.

City Sport's blue tweed newsboy cap is a popular new addition to this season's line up.

The new colors of the Donegal Tweed Newsboy are head turners. Customers in the shop have been noticeably attracted to the navy-blue tweed with grey and white flecks. The Herringbone Longbill cap also is a crowd pleaser.

For the nattiest dressers, City Sport’s new Wool Pinstripe Ivy and Wool Plaid Ivy are winners.
