Not sure what hat size you wear? You don’t need to guess \u2014 and you definitely don’t need to know your usual clothing size.<\/p>\n\n
Your hat size is based primarily on your head circumference.<\/strong> In many European sizing systems, the number on the hat corresponds approximately to your head measurement in centimetres. For example, if your head measures 58 cm, your starting point is EU hat size 58.<\/p>\n\n Here’s how to find your size in just a few simple steps.<\/p>\n\n You’ll need a flexible measuring tape marked in centimetres.<\/p>\n\n Example:<\/strong> If the tape reads 57.5 cm, your head circumference is 57.5 cm. For a structured hat available in whole-centimetre sizes, size 58 may be a useful starting point.<\/p>\n\n Use this general adult hat size chart to find your approximate European size.<\/p>\n\n Wichtig:<\/strong> This is an approximate reference, not a universal standard. Letter sizes vary between brands, so always check the specific product’s size chart.<\/p>\n\n Your head measurement is the starting point, but different hats fit differently.<\/p>\n\n A size that works perfectly for a stretchy beanie may not feel the same in a rigid fitted hat.<\/p>\n\n You can still measure your head accurately with a piece of non-stretch string and a ruler.<\/p>\n\n Record the result in centimetres. Avoid stretchy string, which can distort your measurement.<\/p>\n\n Here are some common measurements and their approximate European numeric sizes:<\/p>\n\n Numeric sizes are a useful reference, but the manufacturer’s size recommendations should always guide your final choice.<\/p>\n\n Suppose your head measures 58.5 cm and the hat comes in sizes 58 and 59.<\/p>\n\n For a structured, non-stretch hat, size 59 is often the more comfortable starting point<\/strong>, particularly if size 58 would create pressure.<\/p>\n\n For an adjustable cap, check the available range. For a stretchy beanie, follow the manufacturer’s sizing guidance.<\/p>\n\n Don’t assume every hat will stretch enough to correct a sizing mistake.<\/p>\n\n Once you try it on, pay attention to comfort and stability.<\/p>\n\n A properly fitting hat should:<\/p>\n\n If it matches your circumference but feels tight in one area and loose in another, the crown shape may not suit your head.<\/p>\n\n Yes. Two people can have exactly the same head circumference but different head shapes.<\/p>\n\n Some heads are rounder, while others are more oval. Hat crowns also vary in shape and depth.<\/p>\n\n If a fitted hat feels tight at the front and back but loose at the sides, it may be the wrong crown shape rather than the wrong numeric size.<\/p>\n\n It can, especially if you have thick, curly or voluminous hair.<\/p>\n\n If you plan to wear your hair underneath your hat, arrange it as you normally would before measuring your head.<\/p>\n\n That way, your measurement better reflects how the hat will actually sit.<\/p>\n\n Hat sizes are primarily based on head circumference, not gender.<\/p>\n\n A head measuring 57 cm is approximately EU size 57 regardless of whether the hat is marketed to women or men.<\/p>\n\n However, the available sizes, crown shapes and design proportions may differ between collections.<\/p>\n\n Explore our women’s accessories<\/a> or browse our men’s accessories<\/a> to find accessories that match your style. Always check individual hat measurements before ordering.<\/p>\n\n To find your hat size, measure your head circumference in centimetres around the position where your hat’s inner band will sit.<\/strong> In European numeric sizing, your measurement usually corresponds approximately to the hat size.<\/p>\n\n For example, a 56 cm head is approximately EU size 56, while a 60 cm head is approximately EU size 60.<\/p>\n\n Then check the manufacturer’s size chart, hat construction and adjustability before choosing.<\/p>\n\n The golden rule:<\/strong> Measure your head, use centimetres as your reference and choose a hat that feels secure without squeezing or slipping.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not sure what hat size you wear?
