How to Measure Your Head
A step by step guide on how to find out what hat size your head is!
A perfectly fitting hat not only looks great but also ensures comfort during long hours of wear. To find the ideal size for your head, you'll need to take accurate measurements. In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the process of measuring your head for hats! This guide is all you’ll ever need.
Materials to get you started:
A soft measuring tape (flexible) (Essential)
A mirror (optional but helpful)
A friend or family member (optional, for assistance)
STEP 1: Gather Your Materials
Before you start measuring your head, ensure you have all the necessary materials ready. A flexible measuring tape is crucial as it allows for precise measurements, while a mirror can be handy for self-measurement.
STEP 2: Prepare Your Hair
If you have long or voluminous hair, consider pulling it back or wearing it as you would when wearing the cap. This ensures that your measurements are accurate and representative of how you'll wear the cap.
STEP 3: Measure Your Head Circumference
Now, let's measure the circumference of your head. Follow these steps:
Hold one end of the measuring tape at the center of your forehead, just above your eyebrows. The tape should lay flat against your skin.
Gently wrap the measuring tape around your head, following the contour of your skull. Ensure that the tape is level and sits just above your ears.
You should aim for a snug but not tight fit. Once you've made a full circle around your head, take note of the measurement in centimetres or inches, depending on your preference.
STEP 4: Determine Your Hat Size
Now that you have your head circumference measurement, it's time to determine your hat size. Most baseball caps are sized using a standard system. Here's a general guideline:
Small (S): 55-56 cm
Medium (M): 57-58 cm
Large (L): 59-60 cm
Extra Large (XL): 61-62 cm
Extra Extra Large (XXL): 63+ cms
Compare your head circumference measurement to the sizing chart above to find your ideal cap size. If your measurement falls between sizes, it's usually best to opt for the larger size for a more comfortable fit. If your head is on the larger size, then your in the right place!
Our hats start at 60cm’s and when opened all the way up, can get to as big as 65cm’s - covering a wide range of the XL head sizes.
