Heads come in all sizes, and in a surprising variety of shapes. Although fur felt hats are adaptable, and will usually conform to differences in shape with a little wearing, it is essential that the size be correct for the head.
To determine your hat size, measure the circumference around your head, keeping the tape level and firm, across the temples and above the eyebrow ridges. Check the size chart given below. For in-between measurements use the next size up.
Circumference of head where hat brim sits:
| Inches | 21⅛ | 21½ | 21⅞ | 22¼ | 22⅝ | 23 | 23½ | 23⅞ | 24¼ | 24⅝ | 25 | 25½ |
| US Hat Size | 6¾ | 6⅞ | 7 | 7⅛ | 7¼ | 7⅜ | 7½ | 7⅝ | 7¾ | 7⅞ | 8 | 8⅛ |
| Metric Size | 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 | 59 | 60 | 61 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 |
Check the Fit
When your hat arrives, check the fit before wearing to make sure you have ordered the correct size:
1. The sweatband inside the hat should fit securely on the head without binding.
2. For some in-between sizes, and for some head shapes, greater comfort may be attained by placing felt pads inside the sweatband. Felt pads are enclosed with Akubra hats.
3. The top of the crown should not be so low that it touches the top of your head and prevents the hat from coming down far enough to seat properly. If it does, with a leather or cloth hat you may need a smaller size. With an Akubra fur felt hat the top can be adjusted. Check the information sheet supplied with the hat.
If the hat does not fit, recheck your hat size, and exchange your hat for the correct size. Hats in unused condition with all tags can be returned within 30 days of purchase for exchange or full refund of product price.
