dress may meet practical needs such as protection against climate and labour hazards, but it has also been a powerful tool in the maintenance of hierarchy through its reflection of status, and has served to distinguish occupation and faith as well as rank. It additionally mirrors fashion and permits expression of personal taste. Sumptuous clothes are usually worn by the more privileged classes, to enforce authority, flaunt wealth, or merely dissociate themselves from menial labour: medieval and Tudor monarchs could not wear too many jewels or precious metals; outer clothing was slashed or looped to show underlying layers of expensive fabric; impractical footwear and incapacitating sleeves were signs of leisure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if not symbols of dignity. Another way to measure your head size is to use a strip of cloth and use it in the same way as a measuring tape. Mark the right spot and then lay it against a measuring tape to get a numerical reading. Take your measurements to the nearest hat maker and you should soon be able to own your very own,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], custom-made,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unique hat.
Place the measuring tape around your head,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the spots mentioned in the previous step, snugly. The tape should be wound around your head in a compact manner, not too loose, and not too tight. Once you've positioned the tape exactly where you want it, make a note of the exact measurement, down to one eighth of an inch. Measure a few more times, positioning the tape at various heights, till you've found the perfect fit and make a note of the tape reading.
