How To Measure - OLD
What Is My Hat Size?
We have a few simple instructions to make sure you measure your head properly and purchase the perfect sized hat for YOU. You will need a cloth tape measure. It also helps if you have assistance from another person to ensure accuracy. We recommend using a metric ruler and measuring your head in CM.
How Would You Like To Wear Your Hat?
There are two options listed below, Option 1 and Option 2 are both different, it is essential to measure your hat to fit like your preferred option as there are significant differences.
Halo Style
This is the “halo” style of wearing a hat. Choose this option if this is the way you will choose to wear your hat.
- Simply get your cloth measuring tape and place it around your head over your occipital bone (the furthest part on the back of your head).
- Bring the measure around to the front of your head. About 5 mm above your ears and position it at the top of your forehead (beginning of hairline).
Traditional Style
This is the “traditional” style of wearing a hat. Choose this option if this is the way you will choose to wear your hat.
- Simply get your cloth measuring tape and place it around your head over your occipital bone (the furthest part on the back of your head).
- Bring the measure around to the front of your head. About 5 mm above your ears and position it in the centre of your forehead, or just above the eyebrows (depending on where you want your hat to sit).
Check what size your measuring tape says. Make sure when measuring the tape is not too loose or too tight. If in between sizes, we recommend going up in size. E.g if you measure 58 cm and there is no 58 cm in the style you are after, we recommend going up to size 59 cm. We also recommend adding a hat filler to your order if you are in between sizes as these can tailor the hat to fit your head perfectly.
