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. Step 1

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

  2. Step 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. Step 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.
