What Is a Proper Fit?
Knowing how to size a baseball hat is all about making sure it fits you comfortably. Whether you are primarily wearing a hat for sun protection or as a fashion statement, it's important that it sits properly on your head. If you plan on spending a lot of time outside or wearing your hat to the ball game, you want a cap that fits snugly and does not blow off in the wind.
But if your hat is too tight, it can be uncomfortable. And if your hat is too loose, it can fall off or not offer proper protection while outside in the hot sun.
How to Measure Hat Size for Baseball Caps
The easiest way to measure your head for a hat is to hold a piece of string and measure around your head where the cap will sit. Usually, this means you'd hold the string about 1/8 inch above the forehead and ears. Make sure not to pull the string too tight or hold it too loosely, or you won't get a perfect fit.
Then, holding your fingers at the point where it met on your head, lay the string next to a tape measure and compare the length to our cap sizing chart. If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.
Hat Sizing Accessories
If your hat is just a bit too loose and you don't want to return it, you can purchase sizing tape to adjust the fit of your hat. A number of different types of sizing tapes are available to purchase at almost any hardware store. Cut a strip of sizing tape about four to six inches long, and place it behind the sweatband of your cap. You can also use a sizing strip on the front and back of the hat if needed.
