How to Measure Your Head for the Perfect Hat Fit

Finding the perfect hat starts with the right fit. A well-fitting hat should be comfortable, stylish, and secure without feeling too tight. At Keith James, we design hats with timeless elegance and functionality, ensuring that every piece fits just right.

Follow this simple guide to measure your head correctly and find the perfect size for your Keith James hat.

1. What You’ll Need

To measure your head accurately, you’ll need:

A soft measuring tape (flexible for wrapping around your head)
A mirror or a friend to help ensure accuracy
A string and ruler (if you don’t have a measuring tape)

2. How to Measure Your Head

Step 1: Find the Right Placement

Position the measuring tape just above your eyebrows and around the widest part of your head. It should sit where your hat would naturally rest—usually ½ inch (1.25 cm) above your ears.

Step 2: Wrap and Measure

Wrap the tape around your head, making sure it’s snug but not too tight. If using a string, mark where it meets and measure it against a ruler.

Step 3: Check the Measurement

Read the measurement in centimeters (cm) or inches (in) and compare it to the Keith James hat size guide to find your ideal fit.

3. Finding Your Perfect Hat Size

Keith James offers various hat styles that follow standard sizing. Use this general guide to match your measurement:

Small (S): 6 ¾ - 6 ⅞ (54cm - 55cm)
Medium (M): 7 - 7 ⅛ (56cm - 57cm)
Large (L): 7 ¼ - 7 ⅜ (58cm - 59cm)
Extra Large (XL): 7 ½ - 7 ⅝ (60cm - 61cm)
XXL (2XL): 7 ¾ - 7 ⅞ (62cm - 63cm)
XXXL (3XL): 8 - 8 ¼ (64cm - 65cm)

For specific styles like the King Hat, Queen Hat, and Derby Hat, refer to the Keith James size chart on each product page.

4. Tips for the Perfect Fit

If you’re between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit.
A slightly loose hat can be adjusted with hat sizing tape or foam inserts.
Consider the material—wool, felt, and straw hats may slightly stretch over time.

5. Choosing the Right Keith James Hat

Now that you have your measurement, it’s time to find the perfect Keith James hat for your style:

Looking for a bold statement? Try the King Hat or Queen Hat for a regal and structured look.
Need a classic touch? The Derby Hat or Prince Hat adds timeless elegance.
Prefer something relaxed? Go for a Bucket Hat , Newsboy Cap, or Apple Jack Cap for effortless style.
