It's easy to measure the size of your real Panama hat!
How to measure your head size for the perfect hat fit?
Choosing a hat that fits you perfectly starts with knowing your head size. Here’s how to measure it correctly:
1. Get a Soft Tape Measure:
You’ll need a flexible tape measure for accurate measurements.
2. Position the Tape Measure:
Place the tape measure just above the bump at the back of your head, known as the occipital bone.
Measure 1 centimeter (about 0.4 inches) above your ears.
The central point of the tape measure should be at the middle of your forehead.
3. Take the Measurement:
Gently wrap the tape measure around your head, following these reference points.
Ensure that the tape measure is comfortably snug, without being too tight.
Note down the measurement in centimeters.
4. Refer to the Size Chart:
Most hats are available in numeric sizes (e.g., 56, 58, 60).
Use the measurement you’ve taken to find the corresponding size in the size chart.
5. Additional Tips:
If your measurement falls between two sizes, opt for the larger size. A slightly loose-fitting hat is more comfortable.
You can also adjust the hat size by adding a small strip of foam or cork behind the fabric or leather sweatband.
By following these steps, you’ll be ready to choose the perfect hat based on your head size. Whether it’s a beret, a baseball cap, or a wide-brimmed hat, you’ll be sure to find the right fit!
How to wear your real Panama hat?
To wear a Panama hat properly, you first need to feel comfortable. This means never pushing it too far down on your head, to avoid enlarging and damaging it. After that, it's all a matter of taste. You can wear it tilted to one side, far forward or a little back.
It's up to you to find your style!
