How to Measure Your Hat Size

Why Measuring Your Head Is Important

The right fit makes all the difference. A hat that's too tight can feel uncomfortable, while one that's too loose may not stay in place. Taking a minute to measure your head helps you find the size that's comfortable, secure, and ready for everyday wear.

How to Measure Your Hat Size

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

You'll need:

  • A soft measuring tape (preferred), or
  • A piece of string and a ruler

Pro Tip: Measure in centimeters whenever possible, as it's typically more accurate than inches.

Step 2: Measure Your Head

Wrap the measuring tape or string around your head where you'd like your hat to sit.

Don't pull the tape too tightly. It should rest comfortably against your head with just a little breathing room. A measurement that's too tight can result in a hat that feels uncomfortable.

For the best fit, we recommend measuring:

About ¼–½ inch above your ears

About ¾–1 inch above your eyebrows

Step 3: Record Your Measurement

If you're using a measuring tape, simply note your measurement.

If you're using a string, hold the point where the string overlaps, then lay it flat against a ruler to determine your measurement.

Step 4: Measure Again

For the most accurate fit, measure your head two or three times. Once you get the same measurement twice, you're ready to find your size.
