How to find your hat size

Service

How do I find out my hat size?

To find out your hat size, you first need to measure the circumference of your head. You will need a tape measure and a mirror for this. Take the measuring tape and place it at the back of your head. Next, draw both sides of the tape to the front, just above the ears and over the eyebrows, bringing it together roughly in the middle of your forehead. Please be careful not to pull the tape measure too tight. You can now use a mirror to read your head circumference. You should take care to comb your hair back flat when measuring your head.

 

 

Our special tip: If you don’t have a measuring tape at hand, you can also use any piece of cord or string and then place this against a folding ruler to find the size. Again, it is important to round up the measured size to the next whole number. This is because a hat that is too small can cause headaches. Whereas if a hat is a little too big, the difference can be compensated for with two strips of cork material. Where these can be used to adjust the size correctly, we always deliver two cork strips with every hat.

For elongated head shapes, the cork strips should be placed on the sides, underneath the hat band. For rounder head shapes, we recommend placing the cork inserts at the rear end of the lining. Two cork strips can alter the hat size by around 1 cm. If you need more than the cork inserts that come with the hat, you can of course order more for a low price at Mayser!
