Frequently Asked Questions

📏 How to Measure Your Head

1. Proper Tape Placement

The most important step for an accurate fit:

Diagram showing proper head measurement for hat sizing: tape 1 inch above eyebrows and just above ears
  • Place tape about 1 inch (2.5cm) above eyebrows.
  • Ensure tape is just above your ears.
  • Keep the tape level all the way around.

2. Know Your Head Shape

Shape affects fit as much as size:

Diagram comparing Long Oval vs Round Oval head shapes
  • Long Oval: Longer front-to-back (most common).
  • Round Oval: More circular shape.
  • If you have a round head, you might need to size up.

💡 Fit Check: Tight vs. Right

Comfort is key!

A hat should sit comfortably above your ears without leaving red marks on your forehead. It should be snug enough to stay on in a breeze, but loose enough to not give you a headache.

✓ Correct: Level, comfortable, no pressure
✗ Incorrect: Too high, red marks, headache

💡Quick Answer

Measure your head in centimeters. 56cm corresponds to a US size 7, while 59cm is a US size 7 3/8. CM is the most accurate way to measure for a hat.
