If you don't know your head circumference, you can measure it like this: Get a measuring tape or a non-elastic string/strap and wrap it around your head, starting above the eyebrows on the forehead, where the hat would naturally sit. Don’t pull it too tight when measuring, just let it wrap around as much as you want the hat to fit comfortably on your head, because Xiquan’s hats can be tightened by the inner sweatband with Velcro felt, adjustable about The tightness is 2-3cm, so when measuring the head circumference, take a comfortable or slightly loose size. If you have other needs, please message the designer to discuss the details Or book an in-studio try-on discussion. 1F, No. 12, Alley 4, Lane 368, Minsheng Road, West District, Taichung City (Audit Village) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52754786080_9998b57ab9_b.jpg **|| Adjustable hat girth, adjusted with Velcro felt on the inside of the hat||** wwwwwwwww **|| Inheritance of three generations of grass fragrance, inheritance of three generations of weaving||** "Xiquan" is a knitting shop from Dajia, Taichung for more than 70 years, and it is also the name of the founder's grandfather.

Palla) ||** | nickname Mat grass, Dajia Lin | Birthplace Central Taiwan - Lower Da'an River | character Ventilation and heat dissipation moisture wicking There is also a unique natural herbal fragrance~ It comes from a unique plant in central Taiwan - Taiwan Rush, which has a charming natural grassy fragrance. In the early days, rush grass was mostly woven straw mats, so it is also called "mat grass". It is very moisture-absorbing, breathable and smooth to the skin. It has a cool feeling when touched, and it will become more shiny as time goes by. It is a natural fiber with a sense of life. There has been a rush weaving culture in Taiwan for nearly 300 years. Every item is hand-woven by local grandmas and aunts, full of Taiwanese spirit. **|| Weaving process of rush||** Growth | After 3-4 months of growth Exposure | After harvesting, expose to the sun for about 2-3 months, dry the grass until golden yellow, and dry the water completely Grass Sweeping | Classify the grass according to its length and remove some grass tails Grass picking | Grass with average thickness will be selected before weaving Grass pulling pants | pull out the leaves that have not fully grown from the grass head Hammergrass | Destroys the structure of the grass, making it soft and easy to weave If we want to weave more delicate items, there will be two more processes-"analyzing the grass" (subdivide the original triangular rush into two to three equal parts), "kneading the grass" (after kneading, the white rush inside the grass fiber removal) **|| A short story of rush grass in Taiwan||** Rush will become smooth and shiny with time, friction, and oil absorption. Its black-gold luster is what many people pursue. I heard from grandma and mother that in the past, some people would "raise the grass" and wipe it repeatedly with tea water for a long time, so that the rush rush would take on a black-gold and bright color
