Turns out, identifying your hat size is quick + simple. Let's start with some helpful notes to consider -

• Average Head Size (57 cm): Most women have a head size of around 57 cm. If you’re unsure, start with our M/L hat. It’s designed to fit 59 cm and can be adjusted down to 57 cm.

• Largest Size (61 cm): Our XL size is 61 cm, and like the other sizes, it can be adjusted down to 59 cm.

• Slightly Smaller Head (55 cm): If your head is a bit smaller, choose our XS size. It starts at 55 cm and can be adjusted down to 53 cm.

• Kids’ Sizes: For select styles, we offer kids' sizes starting at 53 cm, adjustable down to 51 cm.

TIP: When in doubt, size up. Our brimmed hats come equipped with an adjustable velcro sweatband so you can customize your fit down by 5cm!

There are two primary methods of measuring your hat size + are based on the style in which you wear your hat. You will need to take both measurements (shown below) + then use the larger of the two measurements to determine your hat size. 

TIP: If you don't have a textile measuring tape, use a string to measure the distance around your head. After you have marked the string around your head, lay it out flat on the ground or table + measure the straightened out piece of yarn with a measuring stick or regular measuring tape.

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.
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.

1. Use a textile measuring tape to measure the distance around your head passing through the back of your head, just above the neck, + the front of your head high on the brow. The tape should be higher in front than in back.
2. Check the measurement of the tape wrapped around your head. Wearing a hat Halo style is usually a smaller hat size than wearing a hat traditionally. Since there is typically a difference in measurement we recommend using the larger of the two hat sizes. If you are in-between sizes, we suggest sizing up and adjusting down.

Hat Sizing Tape Instructions

Hat sizing tape is an additional 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, + wa-lah.
