Tips for Determining Hat Size

Tips for Determining Hat Size

Measuring your head can be a bit tricky but we have a few tips to help you get  the right measurement for a comfortable fit. 

  • The best tool for the job is a cloth measuring tape but you can also use a string to wrap around your head and measure after.
  • It helps to have some assistance from your mom, partner, or neighbor. Pretty much anyone with opposable thumbs.
  • Wrap the tape measure or string around the largest part of your head. The measuring device should sit about 1/4 inch above your ears and along your forehead where you want your hat to sit.
  • Keep the measuring tape loose enough to sit on your head comfortably. Theres nothing worse than a brain squeeze. 
  • Record the measurement exactly.
  • Repeat this procedure a couple more times to get the most accurate measurement for a comfortable fit. 
  • Finally, compare your measurement to the size chart below. If you are between sizes, size up. It's easier to make a large hat smaller rather than a small hat larger.
