When measuring the circumference of the head with a centimeter tape, make sure that it is not stretched too tight.
The size of a man's hat is usually determined by the circumference of the head. To measure the circumference of your head, take a measuring tape and wrap your head around. The tape should pass 2 centimeters above the eyebrows, and along the most protruding part of the back of the head.
If there is no measuring tape at hand, you can measure the girth of the head with a regular thread. Wrap the head with a thread, cut off the extra elements, measure the remaining piece with a regular ruler. The head circumference of an adult male is usually 54-65 cm, so in this case you need to take a larger ruler.

How to determine the size of a men's hat
For men, hats serve as a warming piece of clothing and saving from the sun. Caps, caps, hats. There are many of them and they come in different shapes and types. Knitted, made of fur. Hats are worn on rare occasions, and only in summer. And caps are the most comfortable option for everyday wear in warm weather.
They match with any menswear. Guys are very careful when choosing hats. They often buy them themselves. Therefore, everyone should know their head size in order to look perfect. A large cap or hat will look not only funny, but also uncomfortable for the owner. Fall into the eyes and interfere. A small option simply will not fit or will fly off.
To determine the size, you need to know the circumference of the head. To do this, wrap the ribbon around the intended edge line of the hat. Slightly above the eyebrows (1-2 cm), and ears. The tape should be on the widest part of the head. Record the result and look at the table.
It contains numbers in inches and centimeters. It is easy to compare with your number and find out the size. For example, the girth is 60 cm. We look at the horizontal line of the diagram for the corresponding data: 23.6 inches. International will be XXL. The English and American norm is 71/2.
It is better to measure hats, but if it is not possible, use this scheme.
Do you want to buy a hat in the online store? To do this, you need to know your size, which is rarely indicated on hats for adults. In this article we will tell you how to determine the size of the head.
For measurements, take a soft centimeter tape. A tailor's meter or regular non-elastic cord will do. Place the tape in front of your forehead and measure the distance. Try to keep the cord passing 2-3 cm above the eyebrow line and not touching the ears. People with wide brow ridges are recommended to take measurements several times. After three volumes have been measured, the average value must be calculated. Don't overtighten the tape, but don't loosen it either. Keep in mind that the resulting length of the tape does not always correspond to the size of the headgear. Remember, the hat should sit freely on the head. A knitted winter hat can be 1 cm smaller than your head size, as wool stretches during wear. To determine the size of the head in order to purchase a helmet or helmet, one volume of the head is not enough. You need to know the depth, which is measured in the center of the head from the front edge of the hair growth to the back of the head. Side depth may be needed. To do this, attach a measuring tape from one earlobe to the other so that the cord passes through the top of the head. Acrylic and woolen winter hats stretch, so you can subtract a couple of centimeters from the resulting length. If you purchase a felt, cashmere hat or fur product, then you can add 1-2 cm to the resulting length. This is necessary so that the headdress fits well in the area of \u200b\u200bthe ears. To determine the size of the child's head, take measurements in the same way. When buying a hat for a baby, consider not only the girth of the head, but also the age of the crumbs. This is due to the fact that the volumes of the skull of children 2 and 3 years old do not differ much, but the depth of the head changes significantly. As a result, a hat of the required size may not cover the eyebrows and ears. Try not to buy very tight hats for your child, as the baby may refuse to wear them. Thick caps squeeze the eyebrows, which can cause them to itch. When buying a hat for a baby in China, pay attention not only to the age of the child, but also to the measurements in the table that are attached to the product description. Due to the small size of products, you usually have to add another 1 or 2 years to the age on the site. All measurements should preferably be taken in front of a mirror. This will help avoid errors. Do not use an old or stretched measuring tape. When measuring the volume of the head with a cord, try not to stretch it by applying it to the ruler. On foreign sites, sometimes they indicate a size that does not correspond to the circumference of the skull. This is the size in inches, to determine it, you need to divide the volume of the head by 2.54.Before purchasing a hat, try to try it on and evaluate the comfort. Do not buy very tight hats, as they impair blood circulation and can cause headaches. If the hat is made of natural wool and it pricks a lot, leave it at the store. Such a product can cause itching and allergies.
The peculiarities of the climate of our country are such that both adults and children have to wear a hat most of the year. In some regions, warm hats are put on already in September and are not removed until the end of spring. That is why such attention is paid not only to the quality of products or their appearance but also the choice of size. An unsuitable hat is uncomfortable, cold and ugly.
Before buying a headgear, be sure to determine suitable size both for yourself and for your children to choose the perfect hat.
Hat sizes for women
How to determine the size of the hat: basic tricks
There are three main criteria for determining the size of a headgear, which are important with both adults and children.
- Tool. The easiest option is to measure the circumference of your head with a centimeter tape. For the most accurate result, the tape should be placed a couple of centimeters above the eyebrows, passed above the ears and closed at the back of the head. The centimeter tape can be replaced with a strip of paper. But with such a measuring device, you should be more careful not to damage it during the measurement process. A non-elastic band, string, or sufficiently thick thread can also be used.
- It is convenient to take measurements in a sitting position. Women should not have lush hairstyles or voluminous hairpins on their heads. It is better to hold the baby's head so that the measurement result is correct.
- It is better to entrust this procedure to an outsider. If the measurement is made independently, then you should do it 2-3 times to get the exact size. Some experts advise moving the tape a couple of centimeters up and down to get maximum result over prominent points.
The more accurately the size of the headgear is determined, the better the hat will sit if it is purchased without trying on. Since the size of the cap is measured in centimeters, rounding up should be taken into account.
Hat sizes for adults
With determining the size of a headdress for adult men and women, everything is both simple and complicated. The size range here is not as large as for children, which makes it somewhat easier to find a perfectly fitting hat. But some manufacturers make this process so “facilitate” for their customers that they offer one-size products.
Needless to say, such hats, for all their versatility, are not suitable for everyone: they are small for some, and large for others. Therefore, the purchase of a headdress with a clear size range makes it possible to get the size as accurately as possible.
Cap Size Correspondence Table
IMPORTANT. Size range of hats from different manufacturers may not match, so perfect option determining whether a hat fits or not is a fitting of a particular product.
The difficulty in determining the size of an adult hat usually lies in the characteristics of a particular head and the desire to wear a hat in a certain way. Some purposefully acquire deliberately large hats that will slide down onto their foreheads and cover their ears and neck. Others prefer to choose products a size smaller so that the hat fits snugly and does not move.
For a perfect fit in size, consider the following nuances:
- Synthetic hats stretch over time, but products from natural materials(cotton, wool or cashmere) may shrink in size.
- An autumn hat can be more spacious, while a winter hat should fit snugly to the head for comfort and warmth.
- The looser the weaving of the cap, the more likely it is that over time such a headdress will become looser and more stretched.
- A hat with complex patterns and weaves should be spacious so that the pattern does not stretch, but looks spectacular.
- When choosing a size, women should take into account the thickness of the hair, the features of the hairstyle and the presence of hairpins or elastic bands in the hair.
Determine the size of the hat for the child
Correctly determining the size of a hat for a child is not only important, but also difficult. The problem is not only to fix the baby at the time of measuring the circumference of the head, but also in the rapid growth of children under 12 years old.
A hat bought in early autumn and ideally suited for spring may already be small, so parents prefer to take this into account and buy a hat slightly “for growth”.
ADVICE. A children's hat should fit perfectly: do not slip on the eyebrows and do not put pressure on the ears. This is important both for newborns, who lie most of the time, and for growing up active babies.
Most manufacturers, to make life easier for parents and other relatives who wish to purchase a hat for a baby without trying on, print on the labels not only the size in centimeters, but also the age corresponding to this size. Such tables of approximate cap sizes for different ages can be found on the net, but they should be taken into account only adjusted for the characteristics of a particular baby.
