How to Measure for a Fitted Cap

Baseball caps are a popular fashion accessory in many places. Whether the hat is worn straight, cocked to one side or backward, a properly fitting cap will be more comfortable and will stay securely in place during strenuous activity.

Things You'll Need

• String Tape measure or ruler

Instructions

1. Hold one end of the string against the middle of your forehead.

2. Wrap the string around your head above your ears. The string should rest roughly in the same position that the cap will rest. Most caps rest between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch above the ears, so keep that in mind when measuring the circumference of the head.

3. Note the point where the string meets the end that was held to your forehead by pinching the string.

4. Measure the length of the string that was required to go around your head.

5. Convert the measured circumference to a hat size as listed at the Strictly Fitteds website.

Tips & Warnings

• If you are in doubt, buy the size up from the size measured.
