Q: What head size corresponds to Hermès size 59? A: Size 59 suits a head circumference of about 59 cm (approximately 23 1/4 inches). In traditional hat sizes this is roughly US 7 3/8 and UK 7 1/4. Measure around the head just above the ears and, if between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
Q: Is the Deauville cap adjustable? A: No. The Deauville is a fitted cap with no back adjuster. Select your true size based on head circumference; if you are between sizes, sizing up is usually more comfortable.
Q: Can the fit be adjusted if it feels slightly snug? A: Minor adjustments may be possible through a professional hatter using a hat stretcher. We do not recommend DIY stretching on cashmere with leather trim, as home methods can distort the shape.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

Q: What materials and details does this style typically feature? A: The Deauville cap is crafted from water‑repellent cashmere with a braided Swift calfskin detail and the signature Clou de Selle at the sides. It is commonly lined in a silk/viscose blend and made in France.
Q: Can I wear this cashmere cap in light rain? A: Yes, the fabric is water‑repellent and fine for light drizzle, but it is not fully waterproof. If it becomes damp, gently reshape and allow it to air‑dry away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: For everyday care, lightly brush off lint and dust and spot clean with a damp cloth. Because this model includes leather detailing and structure, we recommend specialist cleaning by a professional experienced with luxury cashmere and leather. Avoid machine washing and never tumble dry.
Q: Will cashmere pill, and how do I deal with it? A: Some pilling is normal with fine cashmere fibres where there is friction. Remove pills using a dedicated cashmere comb or a soft garment brush, working lightly in one direction. Do not pull at pills.
Q: How warm is a cashmere cap? A: Cashmere is valued for its softness and natural warmth, making this cap a comfortable choice for cooler seasons while remaining lightweight on the head.
Q: How should I store it between wears? A: Store the cap in its dust bag on a ventilated shelf. Support the crown with acid‑free tissue so it keeps its shape and avoid compressing the brim. For longer storage, keep it clean and consider cedar or lavender sachets in the storage area to deter moths.
Q: Can the fit be adjusted if it feels slightly snug? A: Minor adjustments may be possible through a professional hatter using a hat stretcher. We do not recommend DIY stretching on cashmere with leather trim, as home methods can distort the shape.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag, as listed under the product information on this page. Items not listed there are not included; feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm the contents.
