How to Measure Your Head
Hat size is based on the circumference of the head. In order to determine your proper hat size, you must take a measurement of your head.
The easiest way is to hold a piece of string and measure around your head where the hat will sit. About an 1/8 inch above the forehead and ears. Then place the string next to a tape measure and compare to our hat sizing chart. If your sizing falls in-between measurements use the next size up. Looser is always better, as some hats generally have an elastic sweatband to accommodate a wide range of sizes.
Directly, you can use a tape measure. Be certain that the tape measure is straight, not twisted. Record your measurement in centimeters for the most accuracy if possible.

Your Stetson should be reasonably snug so that a light wind can’t blow it off of your head, but it should not be so tight as to cause discomfort or distraction.
