We do NOT ship to PO boxes. If you used a full address PO box and your package was returned to us as a result, you will be responsible for the shipping fees.

In very rare cases, 1% of the time, we get customers that email us stating they have not received their order after it has been posted as "Delivered" by USPS/selected carrier. If you have not received your package and it has been posted as delivered in tracking, please check your mailbox first, then contact the courier directly as only they can connect you with the courier that delivered or marked delivered the package. Unfortunately, we have no control of carriers or the package once it leaves us so if it has been marked as delivered we must take carrier's word that it has been. If you contact them we have never had an unresolved issue of it still being missing.

Find Your Perfect Fit: Sun Hat Sizing Made Simple

How to Measure Your Hat Size

• A soft measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler
• A mirror or a friend to help
• Pen and paper to jot down the size

Step-by-Step Instructions:

• Place the measuring tape around your head about 1/8 inch (0.3 cm) above your ear and across the mid-forehead—right where your hat will sit.
• Keep the tape snug but not tight. It should feel comfortable, like a hat would.
• Note the measurement in inches or centimeters.
• If using string, wrap it the same way, mark the length, then measure it with a ruler.
• Find Your Hat Size with the corresponding size on the below hat chart

Pro Tips:

Measure more than once to ensure accuracy. If you're between sizes, we always recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.

It is also known that different suppliers do in fact follow different sizing metrics. So, the chart, although universal, may vary from one hat maker to another.

Most Common Hat Sizing Questions:

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure my head for a hat?

Use a soft measuring tape around your head, just above the ears and across your forehead where your hat will naturally rest. Measure snugly—not tightly.

What is a 7 3/4 hat size in inches and centimeters?

A 7 3/4 hat size is approximately 24.25 inches or 61.6 cm which would be size 2XL.

My head measures 7 5/8 — what size should I buy?

If your head measures 7 5/8, look for a hat labeled XL or 24 inches (61 cm). Always double-check the brand’s size chart if available, but XL is generally the best fit.

What should I do if I'm between hat sizes?

If you're in between sizes, we recommend going one size up. It's easier to make a slightly larger hat fit with an inner drawstring or sizing tape than squeeze into a hat that’s too small.

What is the average hat size for men?

The average men’s hat size is approximately 7 3/8, which is 23 inches (58.4 cm) which is size Large

What is the average hat size for women?

The average women’s hat size is around 7 1/4, which equals 22.5 inches (57.2 cm).

What size is "One Size Fits Most" in hats?

Most “one size fits most” hats are designed to fit head sizes ranging from 22" to 22.4" (56–57 cm), which usually covers size Medium.

What size head does an XL hat fit?

An XL sun hat typically fits heads measuring 23.3" to 24" (59.3–61 cm), or around hat sizes between 7 3/8 and 7 5/8.

What hat size is 23 inches?

A 23" head circumference translates to a size 7 3/8, which is considered a Large.

I don’t have a measuring tape, can I guess my size?

If you absolutely must order without knowing your size, the best way to sort of guess is to try on a normal hat and see how much more room you would need, fingers wise. Each finger is generally about 2 cm. The difference for most people between each size, or 2 cm, is one finger width.
