    Hat Sizing

    Determining Hat Size:

    1. Measure the widest part of the person's head by placing a cloth tape around the circumference of the head, slightly above the ears, then record this measurement (or you can use a string and then measure the length of the string using a ruler).
    2. Then use the key below to convert this measurement to a hat size. If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.

      • S = 21 & 1/8 inches to 21 & 1/2 inches
      • M = 21 & 7/8 inches to 22 & 1/4 inches
      • L = 22 & 5/8 inches to 23 inches
      • XL = 23 & 1/2 inches to 23 & 7/8 inches
      • XXL = 24 & 1/4 inches to 25 inches
    3. *Adjustable Sizing:
      If you would like your hat to fit snugly simply tighten the draw string so it is snug against the back of your head. Park rangers and state troopers often wear their brimmed hats in such a fashion.
