Glamorous Hats
BallyBoy Hat Collection
Ireland is famous for its milliners and love of hats. Every social occasion in Ireland is a glorious parade of the Irish milliner’s art. We match our capes with a range of bespoke and ready to wear elegant and glamorous hats made for us by two of Ireland’s best contemporary milliners. Margaret O’Connor, who trained with Philip Treacy, brings flair and imagination to our bespoke range and Wendy Louise Knight has created a chic and desirable ready to wear collection for BallyBoy Design.
Hat Size
Some of our hats are one size fits all e.g. the side-tilt berets and the teardrop. The Fedora, Cloche, Riding Cap and Trilby all come in different sizes. Hat size is based on the circumference of the head. In order to determine your proper hat size, you must take a measurement of your head. Using a tape measure, measure your head about one-half inch above your eyebrows where your hat will rest. Be certain that the tape measure is straight, not twisted. Alternatively, you can use a piece of string to measure your head, and then measure the length of the string with a ruler. If you are not certain about size, or are between sizes, buy the larger size or contact BallyBoy Design.
