Choosing your favorite hat styles and materials are only half the battle when you’re trying to create your own signature look. Picking the right hat size is critical for properly framing your face, ensuring you’re both comfortable and stylish.
Here at Hats.com, we make it easier than ever for our customers to select the right sizes for their crowns. Read on to learn how to measure your hat size. Then, check out our chart below to pinpoint your exact size.
Choose the RightHat Size
Follow these steps to select an appropriate hat size for your head:
Grab a flexible tape measure. The tape measure can be made of a bendable plastic, fabric, or cloth. You can also used a piece of string and a ruler.
Wrap the measuring tape or string around your head, positioning it mid-forehead, above your eyebrows and ears, and around the largest part of the back of your head. Make sure that your measuring tape is not below your eyebrows.
Make sure the measuring tape is level and snug, but not too tight, then take the measurement in centimeters or inches.
Compare your head measurement to the hat size chart of the brand or manufacturer you are purchasing from. Hat sizes can vary between brands, so it is important to refer to the specific size chart for the hat you want to buy.
If you are between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size, as hats can be adjusted with inserts or cushions.
Tips for Choosing the Perfect Size
Measure your head multiple times to make sure that you are getting an accurate measurement.
Avoid pulling your tape measure too tightly; it’s best to have more room than you need in your hat than to not have enough room for your head.
Keep in mind that head shapes and sizes differ among hat lovers. However, the hat size that men most commonly wear is 7 ⅜. Meanwhile, the average cap size for women is 7 ¼.
Make sure that there’s some space between your head and the hat (about the width of your finger). Your goal should be to have a snug fit, not a tight one.

Bollman Hat Company digs deep into the annals of its history to capture and commemorate this long forgotten style. The Wide Awake hat was inspired by the paramilitary campaign organization of the 1860s.
The Wide Awakes, affiliated with the Republican Party during the 1860 election, supported Abraham Lincoln and the Union while strongly opposing slavery. The Wide Awakes were well-drilled and served as political police in escorting party speakers and in preserving order at party demonstrations and had over 400,000 estimated members. The standard Wide Awake uniform consisted of a full robe or cape, a torch, and of course the black hat for which we pay tribute.
The Bollman Hat Company produced this hat and all of their hats in black only when George Bollman and Isaac Sowers first opened their hat factory in Adamstown, Pennsylvania in 1868.
This hat comes in a special edition Bollman Heritage Hat Box.
