How to measure your correct Hat size?
Time needed: 2 minutes
How to measure your perfect hat size is explained in simple steps.
- To determine your size, you must measure your head circumference.
- To measure your head size you need a measuring tape and a mirror.
- Hold the measuring tape against the back of your head.
- Pull the measuring tape forward on either side of your head slightly above your ears and your eyebrows to the center of your forehead.
As a tip, you can use the thickness of 1 finger above your ears
- Do not pull the centimeter too tight.
- You can read your head circumference in the mirror
- Use the head measurement in inches or centimeters and convert it into the desire hat sizing system
Hat sizing tips – Size-Charts.com
- We always recommend rounding up the length slightly to a round number (e.g. from 57.5 to 58 cm).
- If you prefer to wear your hat, cap or hat a little deeper over your head, then add 1 cm or 1/8 of an inch.
- Ladies are advised to comb their hair back (see picture below).
- If you don’t have a measuring tape to hand, determine your size with a string and measure it with a ruler.
- A hat or cap that is too small causes a headache. If a hat is a little too big, it can be compensated with two cork strips. The right hat size matters!
