How to Measure Your Hat Size: 3 Simple Steps

Getting the perfect fit is easy if you follow these three simple steps. No guessing, no stress—just precise measurements for a comfortable, stylish hat.

Grab a flexible tape measure or string

  • Use a soft cloth tape or a piece of string that can wrap around your head.

Wrap it around your head

  • Place the tape just above your eyebrows and ears, where the hat normally sits.
  • Make sure it’s snug but not tight, keeping the tape level all the way around.

Check the measurement and match it to our size chart

  • Compare the number to the Sumkcaps size charts above (Infant → XXXL).
  • If you’re between two sizes, always choose the larger size for comfort.

Pro Tip: For kids, add 1–1.5 cm extra to allow room for growth. Visual aids help a lot—like cute ruler graphics, measurement illustrations on a child’s head, or size comparison images.
