There are hats for men and hats for women, as well as hats worn by both sexes. Purveyors of men's hats are called hatters and purveyors of women's hats are called milliners.
Hat sizes
Hat size is determined by measuring the circumference of a person's head about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) above the ears and dividing by pi. In the UK, an equivalent hat size is an eighth of an inch smaller than in the US. Inches or centimeters may be used depending on the manufacturer. Felt hats can be stretched for a custom fit. Cheaper hats come in standard sizes, such as small, medium, large. Some hats, like baseball caps, are adjustable.
Parts of a hat
A hat consists of five main parts:
Crown – the portion of a hat covering the top of the head;
Brim – a projection of stiff material from the bottom of the hat's crown horizontally all around the circumference of the hat;
Peak – a stiff projection at the front, to shade or shield the eyes from sun and rain;
Sweatband – a ribbon or band that runs around the bottom edge of the hat. The sweatband may be adjustable with a cord at the top;
Hatband – a leather strip, ribbon, or string on the outside of the hat, at the intersection of the crown and brim, usually decorative;
