Hat size conversion cheat sheet

US fitted fractions (7, 7 1/4, 7 3/8…) with head circumference in inches and cm. Numbers match this chart's rows. New Era–style tags use the same fractions; Flexfit and other stretch hats often use letter ranges (S/M, L/XL)—confirm the product tag.

How to measure hat size

One accurate head circumference (inches or cm) maps to fitted sizes like 7 1/4—about a minute of measuring.

1. Get a Soft Tape Measure

Wrap it around your head, about 1/8" above your ear.

2. Find the Circumference

Go across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head.

3. Read the Measurement

Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. Use the measurement in inches or cm in our converter.

Why Measurement Matters

Too tight causes headaches; too loose slips. One head circumference reading (inches or cm) is enough to pick a fitted size before you order.
