In our ultimate guide to the Felt Hat Size Chart, we’ll take the confusion out of measuring and selecting your ideal headwear.

Whether you’re looking for a cozy companion for chilly days or a stylish statement piece for your next outing, understanding how to measure your head and choose the right size is key. So grab a tape measure and get ready to discover how easy it can be to find that flawless fit, because when it comes to hats, size truly matters! Let’s dive in!

How to Measure Your Head for a Felt Hat

First, let’s start by measuring your head. You’ll need a flexible tape measure , a mirror, and a friend to help you.

• Begin by standing in front of a mirror and placing the tape measure around your head, just above your eyebrows and ears.
• Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight, and take note of the measurement in inches or centimeters.
• If you’re measuring for a fedora or other brimmed hat, make sure you measure at the widest part of your head. For other styles, measure at the point where you want the hat to sit on your head.
• If you don’t have a flexible tape measure, you can use a piece of string and then measure the length against a ruler or yardstick.
• Once you have your measurement, refer to the chart below to determine your hat size.
• Keep in mind that head sizes can vary, and some hats may fit differently than others. It’s always a good idea to try on different sizes to find the perfect fit for you.
• If you fall between sizes, it’s generally recommended to size up and use hat sizing tape or foam inserts to adjust the fit.
