How to measure hat size?

Hat sizes can vary depending on the brand and the country’s sizing system. Generally, hat sizes are measured in either inches or centimeters and range from small to extra-large or have specific numerical values assigned to them.

How to measure hat sizes based on head circumference?

Inches:

  • Small: 21-22 inches (53-56 cm)
  • Medium: 22-23 inches (56-58 cm)
  • Large: 23-24 inches (58-61 cm)
  • Extra-Large: 24+ inches (61+ cm)

Centimeters:

  • Small: 53-56 cm
  • Medium: 56-58 cm
  • Large: 58-61 cm
  • Extra-Large: 61+ cm

It’s important to note that these size ranges are approximate and can vary between hat brands. When purchasing a hat, it’s recommended to refer to the specific brand’s size chart or consult their sizing guidelines for the most accurate fit. Additionally, trying on the hat before purchase is the best way to ensure a proper fit and comfort.

To measure your hat size in centimeters (cm), you can follow the steps below:
  1. Obtain a flexible measuring tape.
  2. Place the measuring tape around your head, positioned just above your eyebrows and ears. Ensure that the tape is at a comfortable and snug position, without being too tight or loose.
  3. Make sure the tape is level and encircles your head horizontally, maintaining a consistent height all around.
  4. Take note of the measurement in centimeters where the ends of the measuring tape meet. This measurement represents your head circumference.
  5. Refer to a hat sizing chart that provides measurements in centimeters to find your corresponding hat size. Hat sizes can vary between brands, so it’s best to consult the specific brand’s size chart if available.
  6. Consider your personal preference for fit. Some individuals prefer a looser fit, while others prefer a snug fit. Take this into account when selecting your hat size.

Remember to measure your head accurately, as an ill-fitting hat can be uncomfortable and affect the overall look and feel.

If you’re between sizes, it’s generally recommended to opt for the larger size and use hat sizing inserts or hat bands to adjust the fit if necessary.
