How to Measure Your Hat Size for a Perfect Fit

Finding the right hat size is essential for comfort and style. Whether you're shopping for a New Era 59FIFTY fitted cap, a 9FIFTY snapback, or a 9FORTY A-Frame, knowing your correct size helps ensure the perfect fit.

What You'll Need

To measure your hat size, you will need:

• A flexible measuring tape

• A mirror (optional)

• A string and ruler if you don't have a measuring tape

Step 1: Measure Your Head

Wrap the measuring tape around your head approximately 1/2 inch above your eyebrows and ears. Make sure the tape sits comfortably and remains level all the way around.

Do not pull the tape too tight. The measurement should reflect how you want your cap to fit.

Step 2: Record the Measurement

Measure the circumference of your head in inches or centimeters.

Common fitted hat sizes include:

Head Circumference	Hat Size
21 1/8"	6 3/4
21 1/2"	6 7/8
21 7/8"	7
22 1/4"	7 1/8
22 5/8"	7 1/4
23"	7 3/8
23 1/2"	7 1/2
24"	7 5/8
24 3/8"	7 3/4
24 7/8"	7 7/8
25 1/4"	8

Understanding Different Hat Styles

59FIFTY Fitted Caps

59FIFTY caps are fitted and do not have an adjustable closure. Choosing the correct size is important for comfort and appearance.
