How to Measure for a Hat

How do you get the perfect hat fit?

1.) Get a tape measure; a cloth tape measure such as a seamstress or tailor uses is ideal. (If you do not have one of these, simply use a piece of string, measure and put the string next to a yard stick.

2.) It is usually helpful to have someone help you. Measure around your head about 3/4 of a inch above your ear where your hat will be worn.

3.) Pull the tape tight to measure within 1/8".

4.) Now measure from the top center of your head to your eyebrow or where you would like the edge of the hat to rest on your forehead. This is the depth of the hat. 

The key element here is comfort; you don't want to pull the tape too tight, or your hat will be too snug, and much less comfortable.
