Hat sizes and measuring your head accurately:

On our website we use Centimetres and the International description for sizes. Please use the chart below to convert centimetres to inches.

Measuring your head:

It is probably easier to measure in metric (centimetres) which is the circumference of the head measured above the ears.

It is very simple to measure your hat size. Simply place a measuring tape around your head in the position where you would wear your hat. Make sure that the tape does not drop too low at the back. Keep the tape as tight as you would want the hat to be, although don't measure too tightly, as a hat that is slightly too large can be padded out around the inner band.
