How to Find Your Hat Size
-
Wrap a soft tape measure around your head. Place the tape measure where you’d like the hat to sit—roughly above your eyebrows, above the ears, and a bit lower in the back. [1] X Research source
-
Tighten the tape measure to how tight you’d like the hat to be. The tape represents the inside rim of the hat. Add some slack for a looser fit or tighten for a more snug fit. [4] X Research sourceAdvertisement
-
Keep your finger on the tape measure where the tape meets the starting point. Unravel the tape measure and notice the inch number your finger is resting the closest to. This number is your head size or circumference.
- Experts recommend measuring your head more than once to get an accurate measurement. [5] X Research source
-
Compare your head size to a cowboy hat size chart. Each hat company has its own size guide, but they all follow a similar size range. Check the sizing guide of the hat company you’re looking to buy from to see what size you are in their hats. [6] X Research source
