A well‑fitting hat feels like it was made just for you. The difference between a cap that sits comfortably all day and one that constantly needs adjusting often comes down to a few centimetres. Learning how to measure your head correctly is the first step to choosing a hat that looks great and feels even better.
Tools you’ll need
Before you begin, gather a soft measuring tape, a mirror and a notepad. The mirror helps ensure the tape stays level, and jotting down the number prevents you from forgetting your measurement later.
Step‑by‑step guide
-
Position the tape: Place the measuring tape around your head about one centimetre above your eyebrows and ears. This is the spot where the hat will naturally sit.
-
Keep it smooth: Make sure the tape stays even all the way around and rests comfortably against your head. Avoid twisting or tightening it; you want a true representation of your head’s circumference.
-
Read and record: Note the number where the tape meets. This is your head measurement, which you’ll use to find the correct hat size.
Check the fit
Once you have your measurement, adjust the tape until it feels snug but not tight. It should sit securely without leaving marks or feeling restrictive. This is the fit you should look for when selecting your hat.
Keep it level
Accuracy matters. If the tape is tilted too high at the front or too low at the back, you could end up with a size that’s too small or too large. Keeping the tape level from front to back ensures a balanced and comfortable fit.
