Measure your head size to choose your hat size

Measure your head size - hat size

  1. To measure your head size, measure around your head where the hat would rest, that is, at the middle of the forehead and at the level of the bump at the back of the skull (usually 0.5 to 1 cm above the eyebrows and ears).
  2. Hold the tape measure or strip comfortably, as you would like your hat to fit (most measurement errors occur by applying the strip too tightly).
  3. Read the closest size and refer to the diagram below to find your hat size.
  4. After measuring your head size, choose the model of women's hat or men's hat, women's cap or men's cap and women's beret or men's beret.

If you don't have a flexible tape measure, you can use a piece of string or ribbon (non-stretchable).

If your measurement falls between two sizes, we strongly recommend that you choose the larger value. This will make wearing the hat more comfortable.

You can adjust the size of the hat using a small piece of foam or cork strips (which we can provide) to be placed behind the fabric or leather band.

Quick tips for finding your head size

There is no universally correct fit for a hat. You need to make sure your hat fits as YOU want it to.

It's entirely a matter of personal preference and whatever suits you best.

A more fitted hat stays better for active people - think of a festival or a day at the beach, your hat will also sit higher on your head.

A looser hat is more comfortable to wear for long periods (4 hours and more) and will rest lower on your head.
