This is the second Caroline

"This is the second Caroline hat I have purchased. You cannot beat it for style and sun control. It is a bit tight but it stays on great and does not leave you with “hat head”. Eric Javits never fails to deliver outstanding hats and the Caroline is another winner!"

Q&A

My wife has a smaller head size. Do you make hats in sizes.
one size but we can always size the hats down for a customer, also some of our hats have velcro adjuster in the inside of the hat.
What is the best way to straighten the brim of this hat? Mine was smashed and bent a bit in a suitcase?
Hi Audra, Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about your hat. But no worries, let me try to help out. Steam gets the creases out. If you have a steamer, that would be great! If not, you can use a flat iron. If you use an iron, use a white thin sheet to put it over the edge, then you can iron lightly over it. That will smooth out the creases. And in order to stiffen your hats a little, you may try using spray starch. Some people even use hairspray in the absence of starch. I hope this helps. Feel free to write us again if you have other questions. Warm regards, Eric Javits Team
Will this hat fit a 23 inch head? I purchased Daphne but it was too small. I live in the tropics and need sun protection. I have a few Hampton hats and they do fit but are not structured, which might be the reason. Thank you in advance.
Hi Donna, Thank you for reaching out to us. Most of our hats are made in a standard "one size fits most" at 22 3/4. We hope this answers your question. Let us know if there's anything else you need. Kind regards, Eric Javits Team
