Past Commander Knights Templar Commandery Chapeau

We customize all Chapeaux to your state regulation. If you need any modifications, just contact us. 

We are one of the very few stores that offer Knights Templar Chapeaus with curly plumes. The plumes are made by hand!

As a general rule, Line officers have 4 to 6 plies, and Commanders and Grand Commanders have 8 plies.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The 4-ply option does not include a full curl, as it lacks sufficient feathers to achieve the desired shape. If an incorrect option is ordered, the customer is responsible for all return shipping costs and any additional charges required to modify the chapeau.

100% Wool Felt Body, with gold slashing with bullion thread, Gold wire tassel, 6-ply x 8 whole-piece black genuine ostrich feather quill.

8-ply is recommended for chapeaus of Commander and up.

Please Note: Chapeau sizes are not the same as standard Western-style hat sizes. We strongly recommend measuring your head circumference before selecting a size to ensure the best fit. If you are in between sizes or unsure, consider sizing up for comfort.

Refer to the size chart to determine your head size. Measure around the head, 3/4" above the ears. To identify your correct size before ordering your chapeau, please do the following:

1. Have a non-stretching string around your head about 3/4” above the tips of your ears and across the middle of your forehead. This is the measurement of your head where the hat will sit.  
2. Hold the string firmly, but not too tight. Mark where the string meets.
3. Lay the string on a flat surface and measure the distance between the marks. The sizes will range from 21 to 26 inches or even more for bigger heads. Provide the measurement in ¼” increments.
4. Use this measurement against the table provided below to order your Chapeau, or if unsure, provide the actual measurement in inches.
5. If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next bigger size.

6-7/8 to 7                = 21.75 to 22.25

7-1/8 to 7-1/4           = 22.50 to 23

7-3/8 to 7/12           = 23.25 to 23.75

7-5/8 to 7-3/4          = 24      to 24.50

8                            = 25.25
