How To Measure Hat Size
Hat Sizing
Head sizes and shapes differ from person to person with regards to shape, these can be either very round or oval, with some head shapes being larger front to back or side to side.
How to measure your head
If you have not purchased a new hat recently or do not know your hat size, you should measure your head to determine you size. Size will vary with hair styles, age, weight gain and loss. Use a tape measure to determine the circumference of your head to the nearest 1/8 of an inch or centimeter by measuring across the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and ears. Use the Sizing Chart to convert this measurement in inches or CM to a hat size. The chart below is a average for most hats but may vary by manufacturer, like Stetson Hats.
Choosing The Correct Size Will Give You Years Of Comfortable Wear. |
