Determine Your Hat Size

Pair text with a video to give customers insight into your brand. Tell a story, explain a product detail, or describe a new promotion.

Use a soft tape measure (or string that you can hold up to a standard tape measure) to determine your head’s circumference.

Step One

Use a soft tape measure (or string that you can hold up to a standard tape measure) to determine your head’s circumference.

Place the string or tape around your head above your ears, and across the eyebrows, measuring your head exactly where the hat will sit.

Step Two

Place the string or tape around your head above your ears, and across the eyebrows, measuring your head exactly where the hat will sit.

Step Three

Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. If you fall between measurements go for the next size up.

Measure the circumference of your head where the hat will sit, typically about one inch above your ears and eyebrows. Use a flexible measuring tape and ensure it's snug but not too tight.

How To Adjust

Most of our brims have a built-in fit adjustor. Just pull back sweatband inside the crown of the hat to reveal the adjuster tab. Pull to your liking and affix to the velcro tab. Adjust as needed for the perfect fit.
