A hook-and-loop strap hidden inside the sweatband sets the fit anywhere from 54 to 57 cm (21.3\"–22.4\") and holds it there.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVelvet Outside, Satin-Finish Lining Inside:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-density luster velvet catches light on the surface. Inside, a smooth satin-finish lining glides over hair instead of gripping it — and because the crown is a structured bell rather than stretch fabric, it rests around your hair rather than compressing it the way a beanie does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolds and Recovers:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 14% spandex in the face fabric is a high proportion for a hat.

The two get confused because both have a full crown and a downward brim, but the shapes differ: a bucket hat has straight sides and a flat brim of even width all the way round, while a cloche has a bell-shaped crown that narrows toward the top and, here, a brim rolled upward. The cloche is the 1920s silhouette; the bucket hat comes from 1960s fishing gear by way of 1990s streetwear. If you want the relaxed streetwear shape, this isn't it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What size is it and will it fit me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-answer\"\u003eA: It adjusts from 54 to 57 cm (21.3\"–22.4\") using a hook-and-loop strap inside the sweatband. To measure, run a soft tape around your head just above the eyebrows and ears. Worth knowing: this runs slightly smaller than our Luster Velvet Sculptural Beret, which goes to 58 cm — so if you measure 57 or above, the beret is the safer choice of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is a cloche supposed to be worn?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-answer\"\u003eA: Low. That was the whole point of it in the 1920s — pulled down to the brow, close to the head, near enough to graze the eyebrows. Worn high and level it loses the silhouette and just looks like a hat that doesn't fit. Set the inner band snug, seat it on the forehead first, then settle it back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does it cover my ears?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-answer\"\u003eA: It sits low enough to come down over the tops of the ears.

It's cut from 7 cm of fabric and rolled upward, which is what gives the edge its curl and its body.

Brushed one way it reads deep matte black; brushed the other it catches light and looks almost satin. It's the same fabric and the same dye, and you'll see both on your own hat depending on the light.

A lint roller handles everyday lint and pet hair — dense dark velvet does show lint. For a mark, dab rather than rub with a barely damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat. If the pile looks flattened, brush gently in one direction with a soft clothes brush.
