Let's dive into a simple step-by-step guide with an expert on Western cowboy hats from Connolly Saddlery.
The first step in determining your hat size is to measure the circumference of your head. Use a soft measuring tape and place it around your head, slightly above your eyebrows and ears. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight.
Once you have your head circumference measurement, you can use a sizing chart to determine your hat size or give connollysaddlery.com a call and we will do it for you!
| Measurement (inches) | U.S. Hat Size | Metric Size (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 21 ⅛ – 21 ½ | 6 ¾ – 6 ⅞ | 54 – 55 |
| 21 ⅞ – 22 ¼ | 7 – 7 ⅛ | 56 – 57 |
| 22 ⅝ – 23 | 7 ¼ – 7 ⅜ | 58 – 59 |
| 23 ½ – 23 ⅞ | 7 ½ – 7 ⅝ | 60 – 61 |
| 24 ¼ – 24 ⅝ | 7 ¾ – 7 ⅞ | 62 – 63 |
U.S. sizes: These are fractional (like 7 ¼).
Metric sizes: Just your head circumference in centimeters.
It's crucial to try on different hats to ensure the perfect fit. Keep in mind that hat sizes can vary between styles and materials. A hat should fit comfortably on your head without being too tight or too loose. If possible, always try on a hat—head shapes vary, and two people with the same measurement might prefer different fits. Your head size can subtly change with temperature or hairstyle!
