WHAT IS A PLATTER HAT

What is a Platter Hat

A platter hat also called a “plateau” or “platter beret,” was the late 1940s to 1950s adaptation of a design from the 1820s, characterized by a wide, almost completely flat disk brim with little or no discernible crown. The disk sits on top of a cup or platform called an inner crown grip that fits on the crown of the head.

The dish hat, introduced by Dior in 1947, has a similar cup or crown that sits underneath the all-encompassing brim.

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
