How to measure and choose hat size

When choosing a hat, not only the design but also the size is very important. By choosing the size that suits you, you can enjoy your favorite hat for a long time, as well as the appearance and comfort of the hat.

 

 

1. Measure your head size

By knowing your Head circumference in advance, you can reduce mistakes when choosing a hat. Here, we will introduce how to measure the size easily, which anyone can do.

■ What to prepare

■ How to measure

・When measuring with a tape measure

① Check the center of the forehead and the most protruding part of the back of the head
②Let the tape measure go around the checked part.

・When measuring with a string and a ruler

(1) Wrap the string around the head and mark the overlapping parts.
② Measure the length between the marked parts with a ruler.

 

2. Choose a hat that fits your head size

It depends on your preference, but as a guideline, if you choose a hat that is about 1cm larger than your head, you can wear it without stress and look beautiful.

A hat with an adjuster can be adjusted by 1 to 4 cm depending on the item.
* Basically, it is a function to adjust the size smaller, so you can not make it larger than the display size.

 

If the size is too large and does not have an adjuster, you can adjust the size by attaching commercially available gap tape to the inside of the slide to increase the thickness.

 

If the size is small, we can expand the size using a special machine. Please feel free to ask salesperson.
*Depending on the material and condition of the hat, it may be difficult to increase the size.
