Frequently asked questions
Headwear Size Guide
1. Will your headwear fit me?
Yes! All of our hats are Unisex and fully adjustable, using a discreet velcro fastening tucked under the inner band. Simply lift up the band, pull the velcro to the correct circumference and fold back down. It's neat and adjusts the inner band fully to your correct head size, without distorting the hat.
2. What sizing do you work in?
Our S size is our smallest fit, fully adjusting from a size 55cm down to 52cm.
Our M size is our Standard 'One size fits all' and our most popular fit- fully adjusting from a size 57cm down to 54cm.
Our L size is our Larger range and fully adjusts from a size 59cm, down to 56cm.
3. What if my size isn't available?
To enquire about a style that isn’t in your size, simply drop us an email to tailor a completely bespoke design. This will fall into our fully customised bracket and there will be a £30 custom fee.
Pre Order and Bespoke
1. What does the 'Pre Order' mean on your product pages?
This means that this particular style is available to purchase on a Made To Order basis. Meaning that this piece is made wholly for you.
2. How long will it take to arrive?
Our Made To Order Products are all different, which is why we give at least 3/4 weeks for the product to be handcrafted and sent to you. We also include the estimated wait time on the dedicated product page, according on the production on how long each individual style takes.
3. What about Bespoke?
Once you've emailed flo@shadedthelabel.com or reached out to us through Instagram direct message, we can start to create your dream style.
For our Headwear, a custom fee of £30 is added. All other styles are individually quoted.
Once happy with your style, we will email you your invoice to purchase and start production. This will take between 4/6 weeks to arrive with you.

Storage and Care for Headwear
1. How should I store my hat?
All hats deserve love and aftercare. Which is why every purchase will come with a 100% recycled cotton Shaded Dust Bag.
To keep your hat in pristine condition, we highly advise storing it on a flat surface in its dust bag whenever it's not being worn. This will naturally keep the dust off and avoid any discolouration the hat could come in contact with.
2. What if it comes mishapen?
This can happen, due to not being stored flat, being crushed against anything, or wearing in wet or hot conditions. If your hat suffers a freak accident and is misshapen, heat is your answer!
Simply use a steamer or iron on the steam setting to mold it back to its original shape using your fingers and palms. Re-enact the pottery scene from Ghost if you must. The hat should pop itself back into shape.
Don’t directly apply the Iron to the hat as this will burn the wool and mark it. If you want to iron any section, cover the hat with a thin cloth (or it’s own Shaded dust bag) and glide the iron over the top of this.
If you have a specific query, please email us directly.
3. How do I remove marks or fluff?
For removing any unwanted fibres and fluff off the hat, simply use a trusty lint roller.
For more permanent marks, please use a dry cleaners as the product could become damaged when wet.
