Under the leadership of fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert, Its purpose was to advance the sales of dresses and clothing made in New York by promoting the city as the fashion center of the country. The New York Creation label was used to identify the products of members.

Would my assumption that the size 22 indicates an inner circumference of 22" be correct?

@lyonshareonline hello. Thank you for inquiring. Hat sizing is not exact, but vintage hats were size 22 or 23 (22 or 23 inches inside circumference). Important to note that many hats were worn on top of the head/hairdo, and were not fitted to the head. If you have any other questions, please kindly let us know. Thanks again.

@lanu11 Yes thank you just verifying the 22 spoke to inner circumference

What's the inner circumference of the hat? Are you able to measure it because sometimes the label doesn't accurately indicate the actual circumference.
