Contributing Member fredk Posted May 25, 2024 Contributing Member Report Posted May 25, 2024 Simple as can be; measure, in cm, around the head. just about 1 to 1.5 cm above the ears and eyebrows. For a small head this will be about 54 to 56 cm, for a medium head about 56 to 57 cm and for a large nut about 58 to 60 cm Here is a conversion chart to go back to the old hat sizes https://www.hatsandcaps.co.uk/pages/hat-size-guide Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Use a cloth tape. Measure the circumference of the head. Then it's just math depending on what type of hat. 3 panel = circumference divided by 3+ your fudge factor or seam allowance etc. That's how we do it with fur hats anyhow. Quote
