At Arte Andino we know that finding the perfect hat size is often difficult.

That's why we've put together this guide to help you find the perfect hat size for you.

Determine head circumference and hat size

Hats are not only a fashion accessory, but also a practical way to protect yourself from the sun. When buying a hat, it's important that it fits well and your size is determined correctly. In this article, we'll show you how to determine your hat size and measure your head circumference.

Why is hat size important?

Hat size is important because a hat that doesn't fit properly can be uncomfortable and not have the desired effect. If it's too tight, it can cause headaches, and if it's too loose, it can fall off your head or blow off. Furthermore, an ill-fitting hat can also affect the shape of your face and your appearance.

How do you measure your head circumference?

To determine your hat size, you first need to measure your head circumference. You'll need a tape measure or a piece of string and a ruler.

  1. Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your head, about a finger's width above your eyebrows and ears.
  2. The tape measure should be snug, but not too tight. Make sure it sits straight across your forehead and the back of your head.
  3. Read the measurement in centimeters or inches.

There are different size charts, which can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. However, it is generally recommended to measure your head circumference in centimeters or inches and compare it with the corresponding size chart.

Here is our size chart

Consider the variability of hat sizes!

It's important to note that hat sizes vary and don't always exactly match the size label. To ensure you order the correct size, we recommend rounding up your measurement to the nearest centimeter and ordering a size larger if necessary.

 

Summary !

  • The hat size is important so that the hat fits comfortably and has the desired effect.
  • To determine your hat size, you need to measure your head circumference.
  • Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your head, about a finger's width above your eyebrows and ears
  • If you are between sizes, you should choose the larger size as it is easier to make a hat tighter than to make it big.

 

We use a very precise measuring device to select the hat according to your size and guarantee you the best possible fit.

Our tip!

If you don't have a tape measure handy, take a piece of string or ribbon and then measure the size with a ruler.
