How to Measure Your Hat Size

Hat sizing is confusing.  Vintage hats for women are usually numbered, for example, 22.  Men’s hat sizes are fractions.  Modern hats are usually labeled small to extra large. 

Use our instructions to measure your hat size then find your sizing on our handy dandy hat sizing chart below. 

As always, we are here to answer any questions you have.

HOW TO FIND YOUR HAT SIZE

  • Pull a fabric tape measure or length of string around your head just slightly above the ear, across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head.
  • Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. You are measuring your head exactly where the hat will sit in either inches or centimeters.
  • If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.
  • Then buy a fabulous vintage hat from Madge!
