HOW TO ORDER A
HAT THAT FITS YOUR HEAD
Part of getting the right hat is finding the right size and getting the right fit.
Let’s discuss three primary questions to ensure you get the right fit.
How are our hat sizes measured?
What is the average hat size for women?
How do I measure my hat size?
HOW ARE HAT SIZES MEASURED?
Hats are measured by the inside circumference at the bottom of the hat's crown (the sweatband) + most often measured in inches. While hats may be sized according to their measurement, it is fairly common for women to choose hat sizes based on the average women's head size 22.5.’’
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE HAT SIZE FOR WOMEN?
Women's hat sizes are fairly intuitive. The average women's head size measures around 22.5’’ (medium). If you know you have a slightly larger head go with the 23 or 23 1/4 size (large-extra large) which is what
most of our hat sizes are. We find that most of our clients have the tendency to fall in the bracket of 23 or 23 1/4 inches for their head sizes. With women who have extensions there is a great possibility that your hat will need to have a larger circumference.
In short- the most common hat size is a S/M (22.5’’). While this is the most common hat size, remember that properly sizing your head will ensure the best fit.
HOW DO I MEASURE MY HAT SIZE?
There is one effective method of measuring your head size. This method refers to the traditional style of wearing a hat. The front tip of the hat is low on the forehead, just above your eyebrows, causing the hat to sit nearly level with the ground. To measure your head using the traditional style method, measure the distance around your head from the center of the back of the head to the forehead just above the eyebrow as shown below.
STEPS OF MEASURING YOUR HEAD
STEP 1:
Use a textile measuring tape (or string) to measure the distance around your head crossing through the center part of the back of your head + the forehead just above the eyebrow. The tape should be level with the ground.
STEP 2:
Check the measurement of the tape wrapped around your head. Hat sizing is in cm. If you are in-between sizes, we suggest sizing up + adjusting your hat accordingly.
HOW DO I ADJUST MY HAT SIZE?
Adjustable Inner Band Instructions
Hat sizing tape is an option for tightening the fit of your hat. Place the foam tape on the inside of your hat, behind the sweatband, with the sticky side facing towards the hat wall. Wrap the tape completely around the hat for maximum size decrease or cut tape length in half for a more moderate decrease. Size to fit prior to removing the adhesive cover. Once the fit is correct, remove the adhesive cover, press firmly into place, and wa-lah.
