Adults size guide

As adults we might not have to worry about our heads growing anytime soon, but how we wear our hair (and how much hair we have!) can impact on sizing. It’s always best to measure your head before choosing a style. Luckily, most of our adult styles are adjustable to enable you to get the perfect fit if your measuring is a little askew (hey, it happens!)

Steps to success!

Step 1: Use a fabric tape measure or ribbon and wrap around your head where a hat brim would naturally sit on you – around your hairline to the nape of the neck. If using a ribbon, pinch where the ribbons meet, remove from head and now measure against a ruler (double it if you’re still measuring the folded ribbon).  

Step 2: Check your size against our size charts. For the best fit, choose a hat where your head size is bigger than the smallest of the size range. Ie, if your head measures 54cm, choose the Small which has a size range of 52-56cm. If you’re on the cusp, it depends which style you choose. For the Heritage Vacationer Ladies Sun Hat or Traveller Adult’s Frayed Bucket Hat, you could size up so you have room to pull the adjustable straps in to fit your head. This is especially ideal if you have a lot of hair or prefer a slightly looser fit. For the Heritage Voyager Wide-Brimmed Visor, Originals and Swim Visors, the open-topped nature of the style means the hat sits differently on heads, meaning it’s best to size down for those on the sizing cusp. 

Step 3: Take into account how much hair you have and how you wear it also. If you measure 63cm but have a huge head of beautiful curly hair that you like to wear down with a hat, you might do best to choose the 64cm-68cm - you can still pull it in, but it gives you a little more room for your hair than the 60-64cm size would.
