How Do I Find Out What my Hat Size is?
Take a soft tape measure or a piece of string, and pull it in a circle around your head about an inch above your ears. Or where you would like the hat to sit on your head.
If you're using a piece of string, measure where the string meets on a ruler to get the measurement.
Then record the measurement in both inches and centimeters. Next, look at the hat size chart on the manufacturer's website and match your measurement with the correct-sized hat.
If you're in between sizes, it's typically better to go with a larger size than a smaller one. However, many hats can be adjusted up to a size smaller with their fitting systems.
