How to figure out your hat size and
get your hat right.

What's your head shape? 
Even though every head shape is unique, we all generally fall into one of three head shape categories:  

  • Regular Oval: Your head shape is oval. Your hat fits snugly in the front, back and on the sides.   

  • Long Oval: Your head shape is a longer oval. Your head is narrower at the sides.  

  • Round Oval: Your head shape is round. Your head is wider at the sides. 

What's your hat size?

  1. Have someone else measure your head using a fabric tape measure. You can also do this yourself, but it never hurts to have a second person, just to be sure. (if you do not have a fabric tape measure, use a string and then use a ruler or tape measurer to measure the string)

  2. Sit or stand in front of a mirror.  

  3. Measure the circumference around the widest part of your head, just above your ears and eyebrows, to the nearest 1/8 of an inch. The tape measure should fit snug, but not tight, around your head.
