How to Measure Hat Size

Tired of those adjustable plastic straps on the backs of your baseball caps? If so, you're ready for a fitted hat. But first, you've got to know your correct hat size.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A flexible tape measure

1. Hold the end of the tape measure in the middle of your forehead.

2. Wrap the tape around your head. The tape should be above your ears, resting right at the point where you want your hat to rest. That's anywhere from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch above the ears. Write the measurement down so you don't forget it.

3. Convert to standard hat size using the table at the website: http://www.qualityhats.com/stetson1.htm

Tips & Warnings

• If you have any doubts, measure several times or have a friend measure for you.
• Do not pull tightly on the measuring tape. It should be snug, but comfortable, just like you want your hat to be.
