How do you measure head circumference?
How to find the perfect hat size!
Whether it's a stylish fedora, a cozy winter hat, or a sporty cap – the right model only fits perfectly if the size is right. But how do you measure your head circumference correctly? In this guide, we'll explain step by step how to determine your ideal hat size – for comfort that brightens your day.
Step 1: What you need to measure
- A flexible measuring tape (e.g., a sewing tape measure).
- Alternatively: A piece of string and a ruler.
- A mirror to ensure the tape is straight.
Step 2: How to measure correctly
- Position the measuring tape:
- Place it 1 cm above your ears – this is the widest part of your head.
- Wrap it around your head until it meets in the middle of your forehead.
- Check the fit:
- The tape should be snug, but not tight. Imagine how your future hat should fit.
- Note the value:
- Read the centimeter measurement and compare it with our size chart (below).
