Fit comes first.
Use this American Hat Company chart as a starting point, then try the actual hat. Other brands can differ.
1. Find your hat line
Wrap a flexible tape just above your eyebrows and ears. Keep it level, comfortably snug, and read it twice.
2. Check the size range
A comfortable fit should hold without squeezing. If you land between chart values, try the adjacent sizes with your shaper.
Enter your measurement to see its place on the American Hat chart.
Head shape matters too. Record the oval fit of the actual hat; a size number alone does not describe the fit.
