Round Face Cowboy Hat Proportion Tips

The soft facial lines of round faces make it look like there is equal length and width, so the goal is to achieve visual proportion with cowboy hats tall crowns and wide brims. With height, a tall crown adds length to the face vertically. With width, a wide brim breaks the round contour naturally with an extension of the horizontal line.  

Professional design most often shows that round faces benefit from curved edges on brims rather than straight ones because they add a sense of extreme softness rather than being defined. Feedback from collaborating clients has suggested that high crowned cowboy hats with 3 to 4 inch brims are most preferred on round faces by North American and European clients, while Asian clients are more likely to prefer a more delicate street style with a slightly narrower brim. It is a common to have an abundant stock style for round faces, and there is design consulting at no charge to customize your style from the stock style for the best round face cowboy hat proportion.

Square Face Cowboy Hat Softening Rules

To soften strong, angular jawlines on square faces, aim for cowboy hats with rounded brims and curved crowns. Avoid sharp brims and straight edges, as they make the face appear even more square. From a manufacturing perspective, soft materials like cotton, twill, and flexible suede are ideal for square face cowboy hats because they soften the silhouette. From experience with European square face hat wearers, they prefer suede cowboy hats with curved crowns, while Latin American clients like rounded brim straw cowboy hats for a more casual look. Custom orders allow clients to specify the desired curvature of the brim and the height of the crown to accommodate each square face. Tailored cowboy hats are delivered within 14 days.

Adjustments to Cowboy Hats for Heart and Oblong Faces Cowboy hats need to be customized to fit heart and oblong face types. Heart faces are where the top part of the face is wider than the jaw. In contrast, oblong faces are longer in length than in width. Heart face types can typically need low to medium crown hats, as well as, shorter brims and curves to the hat. The reason for this is it creates a better balance to the proportons of a heart face, and stops the height of the crown from making the face look worse by making the face wider. Oblong faces need low crown hats, as well as, wider and shorter brims to make the face not look as long. Some of the other great design tips include a hat band made of something like a braid to help alleviate a wide forehead and draw the focus to the band rather than the face. To help oblong faces one design tip is to create an asymmetrical design, and this can be done by having a turned up brim on one side of the hat. The customization is done by professional designers on both face types, and the designers also do complimentary consultations to go over one on one details for the design.
