Black satin hat liner. The classic solid black liner with a lustrous surface and a soft, silky feel that sits beautifully inside any fedora, cowboy or western hat.
Black hides wear, matches every felt colour and is the liner most hat makers buy by the dozen. It is also the best base if you plan to add a gold or silver foil logo later.
Every liner is about 4.75 inches (12 cm) tall and made to fit most crown styles. Fitting takes a minute: trim the excess if you like, then tuck the edge in behind the sweatband. A touch of glue is optional, on the bottom edge that tucks behind the sweatband or along the doubled top seam, where it never shows.

Which size should I order?
Start with 58 cm (US 7 1/4). If you are holding one size only, this is the one that covers the most hats: right for medium and large, and it will still go into a small hat.
For proper coverage, hold three: 56 cm (US 7) medium, 58 cm (US 7 1/4) large, 60 cm (US 7 1/2) extra large.
Going up adds coverage. Going down loses it quickly. A liner that is too small does not reach the sweatband, so it pulls against the crown and lifts away. A liner that is a little too big is not a problem, because the extra takes up as soft fullness behind the sweatband where nobody sees it. It stops looking crisp only when you go far bigger than the hat.
When you are between sizes, go up.
