This hat is designed to fit with slouch in it. Both sizes are unisex though I have found the medium to fit most women and the large to fit most men the best.

Due to the slouchy nature of the hat, gauge is not as important. The ribbed brim allows for much forgiveness in size range.

Blocking greatly improves the fit and quality of this hat!
