Our Galero Cardinazio is made in Italy, by artisans who still use the ancient processes of processing of sacred vestments. The production times vary according to the product. Every product is made for you. 

With the term galley is meant, in Catholic church, a great hat prelate, not to be confused with the saturno. There are two versions of the galley: a wearable version, equipped with a cord that acts as Soggolo and a certain number of tassels that go down laterally, used by bishops, archbishop, patriarchs and cardinals; and a version not wearable, exclusively cardinal, constituted by a wide-seated hat, equipped, as an independent and detached accessory, of a fioccatura di nappe.

To take your hat size you have to measure the circumference of the head about a centimeter above the ear.

The measure in centimeters thus obtained corresponds to the European system (EU), as shown in the table below.

In the assessment of the measure considered that:

1. Better a slightly abundant hat rather than a tight, with a small thickness or a small inner seam is easy to shrink it.

2. If you have a lot of hair you will have a greater tolerance, the hair acts as a natural "absorber".

3. If you have shaved hair or are bald, you will have to do more  Be careful to calculate your size and you will have less tolerance, you can switch from the feeling of "straight" to "largo" in a few millimeters.

4. "soft" hats and caps allow greater tolerance, 

5. "rigid" caps and caps need more attention in the calculation of the measurement. It is also useful to know the shape of your head. It can be "round" or "oval", communicating it at the time of purchase, we can conform the hat (e.g. a craft cylinder ) before sending it.

6. If you have a very round head avoid the rigid hats with all the stretches lowered, prefer those with raised back weaves

7. To slightly widen a hat sometimes is really small, slowly use your knee or fists of your hands, you can also earn a centimeter.
