How to measure your head size

To get the most accurate head measurements for a custom hat, please follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the Measuring Tape: Use a flexible, non-stretchable measuring tape to ensure accuracy.
  2. Position the Tape Correctly:
    • Begin at the center of your forehead, just above the eyebrows.
    • Wrap the tape around your head, making sure it stays above your ears and circles the largest part of the back of your head.
    • Ensure the tape is level all the way around.
  3. Measure Snugly but Not Too Tight: The tape should be snug against your head without squeezing, similar to how you’d want your hat to fit comfortably.
  4. Take the Measurement:
    • Use a mirror or have someone help to make sure the tape is level.
    • Record the measurement where the tape meets the starting point.
  5. Double-Check Your Measurement: For accuracy, measure your head twice. If the measurements differ, take a third measurement and use the average of the three.
  6. Record in Inches or Centimeters: Write down the measurement in either inches or centimeters, based on your preference or the hat maker’s requirements.
