Measuring yourself for a men’s dress hat like a fedora is simple and ensures you get the perfect fit. Start by using a flexible measuring tape and wrap it around your head about one inch above your eyebrows and ears—this is where the hat will naturally sit. Make sure the tape is level all the way around and not too tight; it should rest comfortably against your skin. Take the measurement in inches or centimeters, and compare it to the hat brand’s sizing chart, since sizes can vary slightly between manufacturers. If you’re between sizes, it’s usually best to size up for comfort, especially with structured hats like fedoras. If the hat is a little large, you can always add foam strips underneath the sweatband in either the front/back portion or the sides to make the hat fit right. A proper measurement helps your fedora sit securely and look its best every time you wear it.
