Hat Measures

You can use a tape measure or a length of string that you will
have to hold up to a tape measure to determine the length. Place
the string or tape around you head above your ear, across the
mid-forehead, completely circling your head. Hold the tape
firmly, but not too tightly. Basically you need to measure
your head exactly where the hat will sit. If your measurement
falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.
The average size for a women is 56 cm, and for men 58 cm.
Another valid method to determine hat size is to try on a hat and
check the size. If you don’t own a hat, then try on a random hat
next time you have access to one. Sizes, even though they do
vary depending on the hat maker, are technically universal. You may
refer to the sizing charge below if you need to convert a medium to an actual hat size.
