How to Measure Your Head
- Use a flexible measuring tape or a string.
- Wrap it around your head about 0.3 cm (1/8 inch) above your ears and across your forehead—where the hat will sit.
- Hold it snug but not too tight.
- If you're between sizes, go for the larger one.
Sizing Tips
- If you already own a well-fitting hat, check its size for reference.
- Hat sizes may vary by brand, especially between UK and North American manufacturers.
- Measuring in centimeters or inches is more accurate than relying on standard hat sizes.
- Like clothing, hats can fit slightly differently depending on the maker.
