How to Measure Your Head for the Perfect Hat Size

Watch the quick video below before measuring. Keep the tape level around the widest part of your head, then use the larger measurement if you are between sizes.

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.
