Hat Size Converter Features

Head Circumference

Hat sizes are based on head circumference in mm. Wrap a tape measure around the widest part of your head, just above your eyebrows.

4 Systems

US (1/8 inch fractions), UK (1/8 inch slightly smaller), EU (cm), mm circumference. EU is the easiest because it directly matches the measurement.

Caps & Fedoras

Works for fitted baseball caps, fedoras, top hats, and helmets. Stretch caps (one-size-fits-most) are not standardized.

Online Ready

Buy a fedora from Italy or a fitted cap from the US — convert your size in either direction and order with confidence.

Almost. US hat sizes are based on head circumference in 1/8 inch fractions (e.g. US 7 = 22 inch). UK uses the same fractions but rounded slightly differently — UK 7 ≈ US 7 1/8. Use the chart for exact matches.

EU hat sizes equal head circumference in centimeters (e.g. 56 cm = EU 56). It is the simplest and most precise system because there is no conversion involved.

Men: 22 7/8 inch ≈ 58 cm ≈ US 7 1/4. Women: 22 inch ≈ 56 cm ≈ US 7. About 95% of adults fall between 54 and 62 cm.

Both. New Era 59FIFTY and other "fitted" caps follow this size chart. Adjustable snapbacks and dad hats fit a range of head sizes via Velcro/snap closure.
