ABOUT WHITTALL & JAVITS
About Whittall and Javits
Eliot Whittall and Eric Javits, both graduates of the Rhode Island School of Design, joined forces after college in 1978 to create this millinery company. In 1985, this label became known as Whittall & Schon when Richard Shon, one of the company’s designers, bought out Javits, who created his own label. Both Eric Javits and Whittall & Schon are still active companies.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HAT SIZE
HOW TO FIND YOUR HAT SIZE
- Pull a fabric tape measure or length of string around your head just slightly above the ear, across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head.
- Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. You are measuring your head exactly where the hat will sit in either inches or centimeters.
- If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.
- Then buy a fabulous vintage hat from Madge
