Hat Sizing Guide: Determine Your Hat Size

You’ve found the perfect hat style, now it’s time to make sure it fits like a glove. Hats in the Belfry’s handy hat sizing guide makes shopping for hats online simple with women’s hat sizing, men’s hat sizing and tips for measuring your head with our custom measuring tool. This guide will walk you through the general size guidelines, types of men’s and women’s hats sizes, measurement suggestions and tips for measuring your head when sizing for hats that are sold in numerical and alpha sizes. Before you place your hat order, be sure to bone up on hat fitting.

Measuring Your Head

Determine hat size by using a flexible tape measure, or a string and ruler. You may also measure your head by printing out our handy custom measuring tool. Measure from the back of your head bringing the ends together at the center of your forehead right above your eyebrows. Use the hat size chart below to determine your size, rounding to the nearest eighth of an inch as necessary. It is important that you measure your head, even if you’ve found a great fit with a certain size in the past, as hat sizes do vary brand by brand. Remember, fitting your head isn’t an exact science or a guarantee of hat fit. View our convenient hat sizing guide for men and women for more information.

*We do not sell children's sizes

Fitting your head isn't an exact science or a guarantee of fit.

Women’s Hat Sizes

In general, women’s hats are sized in one size fits most sizes or OSFM. This means that the style is manufactured in a single size with the adaptability to suit various head sizes ranging from 21.5 inches to 22.25 inches in circumference.

With that being said, actual hat sizes vary from designer to designer, so some hats will fit a smaller or bigger head depending on the style. Thankfully, most of these styles will have an adjustable inner drawstring or band to keep the hat in place and offer flexibility in fit if it runs a little large.

Men’s Hat Sizes

Men’s hats and caps are generally sized in types: numerical sizing and alpha sizing (small through extra large). In some cases, you may find men’s hats listed as OSFM, or one size fits most. These OSFM hats will generally fit heads with a circumference of 21.5 inches to 23 inches or a medium/large.

When you’re shopping for hats sized in alpha or numerical sizing, the first thing you’ll want to do is carefully measure your head following our measuring guide below. Once you’ve determined the circumference of your head, use our hat size chart to determine which size to order.

The Top in Top Hats

This hat is beautiful and perfect! I have wanted a nice Top Hat for years and this one fits the bill perfectly!!! It's just a beautiful, well made hat! It's not too heavy on my head and has a great shape! Exactly what a Top Hat should be!! Thank you!

My Abe Lincoln hat!

Often I’m up early when the house is cold and I need a felt hat to turn the chill. And that’s exactly what these stove hats , as they were called, were designed to do! My wife has dubbed it the “Abe Lincoln” hat, since he wore one, making his 6 foot 7 inch or so frame, even taller. I just enjoy a different hat than the usual baseball cap; why not stand out with your top hat!

Top hat

Good quality. Fits correctly. Impressive.

Fantastic Top Hat John Bull

Beautiful handsome hat love this style and brand. I bought my husband one in 2015 and it's just now the inside rim is coming off so I got him another one this year. We have to return it it's to big. I bought one size up because he said it was to tight. But it's now to big return is a piece of cake. Very organized and convenient.

I purchased it for my younger son and he loves it!!!

My middle-school-aged son is a stylish musician who wanted this hat the moment he laid eyes upon it. Now he won't take it off, especially when he's jamming away on his Strat! It looks as amazing as he feels donning it!

The hat is beautiful sensational and I love it I wear with certain dress outfits that I bought and my Gators I love the hat and thank you so much I will be shopping with you in the near future 💯👍🏽😊

Wonderful

I bought this hat for a theater production of My Fair Lady, and I couldn't be more happy with it! I might just start wearing it out whenever I get dressed up.

High Quality and Reasonably Priced

My husband expressed interest in owning a top hat many years ago. I wasn't sure I would be able to find one of the quality he demanded, but this one has fulfilled our expectations and our wallets.

Top Hat

I returned the hat, as it didn't look good on me. Quality was otherwise good.
