How do I determine my hat size?

To determine your hat size, you need to measure your head circumference. To do this, you will need a tape measure and a mirror. Take the tape measure and place it at the back of your head. Then bring it together on both sides, slightly above the ears, and above the eyebrows, roughly in the middle of your forehead. Please make sure not to pull the tape too tight. You can now read your head circumference in the mirror. We recommend that you round the number up to the next whole number (e.g. from 57.5 cm to 58 cm). Women should make sure to comb their hair straight back when measuring.

A tip from us: If you don't have a tape measure to hand, you can use any string and then use a folding rule to measure the size. Here, too, you should round the measured value up to the next whole number. A hat that is too small will cause headaches. But if a hat is a little too big, you can compensate for the difference using two cork strips. We supply two cork strips with every hat that allows for adjustment with cork strips.

If you have an elongated head shape, the cork strips should be placed at the side under the inner band. If your head shape is more round, it is recommended that you place the cork inserts at the back end of the lining band. Two cork strips adjust the hat size by around 1 cm. If you need more than the free cork inserts included, you can of course buy them cheaply from Mayser!
