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.
