You will need to have a cloth tape measure handy and it helps if you have assistance from another person to ensure accuracy.
Do not pull the tape measure too tight or your hat will fit just as snug. Measure exactly how you like wearing your hats. Do not try to measure the inside of a hat, this never works. It’s much easier and accurate to measure your head or have assistance.
With a cloth tape measure start at the center front of the forehead. Hold the tape firm, then pull around to the ear, at the angle desired above the ear. Continue under your occipital bone which is located in the back of your head, then back around following the same procedure ending at the starting point.
You will either have inches or centimeters depending on the type of tape measure used.

Head Measurement
Taking the size tag in a hat you own that fits well, then using the Hat Size Chart above to convert the size on the tag to a measurement in inches/centimeters is another way of properly determining the size of your new Worth & Worth Hat.

There is no such thing as an overall correct fit. Whatever feels right to you. It is entirely a matter of personal preference. A tighter-fitting hat stays on better for active people, windy settings, and those who like their hats to sit high on the head. A looser-fitting hat is more comfortable, sits lower and works well when wearing for an extended period of time (over 3 hours).
