Women's hat size

In general, women's hats are sized in one size fits most sizes. 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. Some hats will fit a smaller or bigger head depending on the style. Some hat styles will have an adjustable inner drawstring or band to keep the hat in place.

Men's hat size

When you shop for hats for men, you will typically find them listed as one size only. Sunday hats, fedoras, caps, and others fall between 21 and 24 inches for men. It can be difficult to find the right hat for a larger head size, which is why custom sizing matters. Carefully measuring your head is much better than using a hat sizing chart, however you can use both methods to determine your size.
