Quick answer

Wrap a soft tape around your head about 1 cm above your eyebrows and ears. That measurement in cm is your EU hat size. Divide it by 7.98 for the US fitted size: a 57 cm head is US 7⅛ and size M. Adjustable caps fit about 55–60 cm, so measure before buying a fitted cap or a helmet-style hat.

How to measure

  1. Place the tape about 1 cm above your eyebrows and the tops of your ears.
  2. Wrap it around the widest part at the back of your head.
  3. Read the measurement and round up if you are between sizes.
