Handmade Wool Felt Top Hat

 How to Measure Your Head for the Perfect Hat Size

1. Get Your Tools:

• Grab a flexible tape measure or a length of string.
• You’ll need a mirror (optional but helpful).

2. Position the Tape Measure:

• Stand in front of the mirror (if available).
• Place the tape measure:
• Above Your Ear: About 1/8" (or 0.3 cm) above your ear.
• Across Your Mid-Forehead: Right in the middle of your forehead.
• Circling Your Head: Wrap the tape around your head where the hat will sit.

3. Measure Your Head:

• Keep the tape:
• Level: Parallel to the ground.
• Straight: Don’t tilt it up or down.
• Hold it firmly but comfortably—no need to pull too tight.

4. Record the Measurement:

• Note the circumference of your head in either:
• Centimeters (cm): Commonly used in Europe (typically ranging from 52 to 64 cm).
• Inches: If you prefer the imperial system (1 inch = 2.54 cm).

5. Between Sizes?

• If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the next largest size for the best fit.
