Cowboy Hat Size Guide

How To Determine Your Hat Size

Once you've chosen your style, you'll need to know your hat size to achieve a secure, comfortable fit. As a rule of thumb, your hat should be reasonably snug so that a light wind won't blow it off your head, but not be so tight as to cause discomfort or distraction. Here are two techniques to get the perfect fit.

Option 1: The Measuring Tape Method

Start with a measuring tape and wrap it around your head, placing it where your hat will sit- typically, at the middle of your forehead and about 1/8" above your ear. Hold the tape firmly, but not uncomfortably tight. Find your size using the chart below. If your measurement falls between sizes, order a size up; you can always add a bit of padding in the sweatband to achieve the perfect fit.

Option 2: The Snapback Trick

A slightly less accurate, but convenient alternative is to grab a snapback hat, and map your most comfortable fit to the chart. As with the above technique, if your measurement falls between sizes, order a size up. You can always add a bit of padding in the sweatband to achieve the perfect fit.
