How to Measure Hat Size Accurately ~  

Have you ever found the perfect hat or hat pattern on eBay and just couldn't decide on your hat size?   Here is a handy guide.   You don't even need a tape measure, just an ordinary piece of string and a yardstick or ruler.

Just wrap a flexible tape measure (or a string from which you can take measurements while laying it flat against a ruler) around your head where you like to wear a hat.  For women, this is usually 1 inch above the ears.  For men, it is 1 inch above the eyebrow.  This is the circumference of your head. 

Women's hats are sized by circumference. 
Men's hats are sized by diameter.

Women's Hat Sizes: are normally listed as follows:

• Small (Head Size 20-1/2")
• Medium (Head Size 21-1/2")
• Large (Head Size 22-1/3")

Men's Hats: Take measurements as given above and divide the measurement by Pi (3.14).  This will give you your correct hat size when purchasing men's hats.   

These are the most common hat sizes for men
