How to Measure Baseball Hat Size?
How to Measure Baseball Hat Size? It’s easy to find your head size. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll have your hat size in no time!
Measuring the Head
You will need a measuring tape, and if possible, someone to help you with the measuring. Place the measuring tape at the center of the forehead and wrap it around the head, making sure to keep the tape level. Once you have wrapped it around, note down the measurement. That is your hat size!
Use a flexible measuring tape
Use a flexible measuring tape, and place it around the circumference of your head roughly an inch above your eyebrows, or at whatever point gives the largest measurement. If you don’t have a flexible measuring tape, you can use a non-stretchy string and measure it against a ruler afterwards.
Place the tape around the head
To measure the head for a baseball hat, wrap a measuring tape around the largest part of the head, just above the ears. Pull the tape until it is snug, but not too tight and make a note of the measurement. Compare this measurement to the size chart for the baseball hat to determine what size is needed.
Read the measurement at the point where the tape meets in the front
To measure your head for a baseball cap, wrap a measuring tape around your head just above your ears, and read the measurement at the point where the tape meets in the front. If you don’t have a measuring tape, you can use a string or ribbon and measure it against a ruler. Most baseball caps are adjustable, so if you’re between sizes, it’s usually best to err on the side of a larger size.
Determining Hat Size
An important step in ordering a baseball hat is to determine your hat size. There are a few different ways that you can measure your hat size. The first way is to measure the circumference of your head with a tape measure. You can also measure the circumference of your head by using a string. Once you have your measurements, you can compare them to a hat size chart to determine your hat size.
Use a hat size chart
To determine your hat size, use a tape measure to find the circumference of your head half an inch above your ears. Or, if you don’t have a flexible tape measure, use a string to measure and then hold it up to a ruler. Once you have your measurement, refer to a hat size chart to determine the proper hat size for your head.
If you are between sizes, it is usually best to go with the larger size. All hats can be adjusted to some degree to make them smaller, but it is very difficult (if not impossible) to make a hat larger.
Hat size charts vary depending on the manufacturer or retailer, but all follow the same basic formula. To use a hat size chart, find your head measurement in inches or centimeters on the left side of the chart. Then, move over to the column on the right that corresponds with your head measurement. The number at the top of that column is your hat size.
For example, let’s say you measured your head and found it to be 21 inches (53 cm). Looking at the hat size chart, you would move over to the column under 21 inches (53 cm). The number at the top of that column is 7⅛. Therefore, yourHat Size would be 7⅛.
Find your head measurement on the chart
To determine your hat size, measure the circumference of your head where you would like the base or brim of the hat to sit using a measuring tape. If you don’t have a tape measure, you can use a string and then measure the string with a ruler. Once you have your measurement, find your corresponding hat size on the chart below.
If you’re between sizes, it’s generally best to order the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Find the corresponding hat size
To find your hat size, measure the circumference of your head where you would like the base or brim of your hat to rest. If you don’t have a flexible measuring tape, you can use a non-stretchy string (such as dental floss) and hold it alongside a ruler. Convert this measurement to your hat size using the chart below. For example, if your head measures 21 inches, you would try on a hat with a size of 7 (21 inches = 53 cm).
Adjusting the Hat
There are a few different ways that you can measure your baseball hat size. You can use a tape measure, or you can use a string and measure it against a ruler. If you don’t have either of those things, you can always use a dollar bill. Just fold it in half and put it against your head to get an idea of the size.
Use the hat’s built-in size adjuster
Most baseball hats come with a built-in size adjuster at the back. This is usually a strap that can be pulled to tighten or loosen the hat.
To adjust the hat using the size adjuster, first put the hat on your head. Then, locate the size adjuster at the back of the hat. The size adjuster is usually a strip of fabric or leather that goes around the entire circumference of the hat.
Once you’ve located the size adjuster, pull on it until the hat feels snug but not too tight. The hat should be comfortable to wear and should stay in place when you move your head around. If thehat is too loose, continue to pull on the size adjuster until it feels snug. If the hat is too tight, loosen the size adjuster until it feels comfortable.
Use a hatband
If you don’t have a tape measure, you can use a hatband. Start by finding a hatband that fits snugly around your head. Once you have the hatband, measure from the end of the band to where it meets in the back. This will give you your circumference measurement. You can then use a size chart to find your hat size.
Use a hair tie
If you don’t have a tape measure handy, you can also use a hair tie or string. Place the string or hair tie around your head about an inch above your ear, across the mid-point of your forehead and over the natural bump at the back of your head. Make sure that the string is snug but not too tight, then mark the point where it crosses in front of your nose. Measure the distance between the end of the string and the mark with a ruler or measuring tape and you have your hat size!
