How to measure the head for a hat?
Hat sizes are based on head circumference. To measure it correctly:
- Take a measuring tape.
- Find the part that protrudes the most at the back of your head and connect it to the most protruding part of your forehead using the measuring tape, leaving a gap of approximately 0.4-0.8 in (1-2 cm) above your ears.
- Complete the circumference and write down the result.
💡 7 3/4 hat size doesn't equal the 7 3/4 inch head circumference.
