How to easily determine your hat and glove size

Measuring head circumference is the first step to finding the right hat size for both adults and children. Ideally, you should use a tape measure, but you can also use a simple piece of string. First, stand in front of a mirror to make sure you measure around the head correctly.

It is essential to run the measuring tape around the middle of the back of the head and about one centimetre above the ears, around to the forehead. Bring the tape measure or string together at the centre of your forehead. But be sure not to pull the tape too tight. You can now read off your head circumference in your reflection in the mirror. If you dont have a mirror to hand, simply read off the number where the measuring tape meets.

Our tip: If you want to pull your hat down further over your head, you will need to add around one centimetre to your measured head size. You should also round up to the next full number. So, for example, if you measure a circumference of 59.5 cm, you will need to round up to 60 cm.

If your new hat is still a little bit too big, you can use the cork inserts provided to make the hat circumference a bit smaller. To do this, place these inserts underneath the inner band on the sides of the hat.
