Fit tips

  • Measure with the tape where the hat will sit: across the middle of the forehead and about 1 cm above the ears.
  • If your tape reads a little over 25 inches, use the exact number in the calculator. Every eighth of an inch of diameter is about ⅜ inch of circumference.
  • Round up for fitted caps and felt hats. Round down for stretch-fit caps and beanies.

How to measure your head

  1. 1 Use a soft tape measure, or a string and a ruler.
  2. 2 Wrap it around your head where the hat will sit: about 1 cm (⅜ in) above your ears and across the middle of your forehead.
  3. 3 Keep the tape level and snug, not tight. Do not pull it in.
  4. 4 Read the number where the tape overlaps. Measure two or three times and use the largest value.
  5. 5 Type the number into the calculator, or find it in the chart.
