Finding Your Hat Size Easily
What’s Needed:
- Use a Metric Tape Measure: Wrap a tailor’s tape measure around your head where you would like your hat to sit. Ensure it encircles your head evenly, maintaining the desired position for accurate measurement.
- Or Use a String: If you don’t have a tape measure at hand, wrap a piece of string around your head, then measure the length of the string with a ruler. Mark the point where the string meets, then lay it flat to measure.
- Ask for Help: If you can ask someone for assistance, please do, as it will make the job much easier. Having another person take the measurement can help achieve a more accurate reading.
Where to Measure:
- Positioning: Place the tape or string just above your eyebrows and about 1 cm above your ears. This ensures the measurement reflects where the hat will naturally sit.
- Tightness: Pull the measure tight enough to stay in place but not so tight it compresses your skin. A balance between snug and loose is key for an accurate measurement.
- Alignment: Make sure the tape measure is not drooping low or running high. Keeping the tape level and straight around the head is crucial for a true measurement.
Reading Your Measurement:
- Rounding Off: Hat sizes are rounded to the nearest whole centimetre. This standardisation simplifies finding the right hat size.
- Choosing Size: If your measurement falls between two sizes, round up to the larger size for the best fit. Opting for a slightly larger size can offer more comfort and adjustability.
