Why Head Shape Matters
Just like how shoes come in different widths, hats need to match your unique head shape for optimal comfort and style. There are two main head shapes:
Regular Oval
- Most common shape
- Balanced proportions
- Fits standard hats well
Long Oval
- Longer front-to-back
- Narrower side-to-side
- Needs specialized fit
Tips for a Perfect Fit
- 1 -
Measure your head where you plan to wear your hat. For fedoras, about one finger width above your eyebrows
- 2 -
When between sizes, go larger and use size reducers to perfect the fit
- 3 -
The sweatband should not leave marks on your forehead
- 4 -
Hat should be snug but comfortable and stay in place when you shake your head
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my current hat fits properly?
A properly fitting hat should be snug but not tight, with no pressure points. If you see red marks on your forehead or feel discomfort after wearing, your hat might not be the right shape.
What if I'm between sizes?
Always go with the larger size. Our hats can be professionally fitted with internal sizing tape to achieve the perfect fit.
Can head shape change over time?
While your basic head shape remains constant, factors like hair length and style can affect how a hat fits. We recommend measuring periodically.
