In the cold season, it is more important than ever to keep your head warm in order to protect your health from the harmful effects of severe frosts. For such purposes, stylish hats may be suitable, the range of which is unusually large.

Of course, it is very important to choose a hat that matches the type of face, which helps to hide flaws. But no less important task is to select a product that is suitable in size.

To choose the right product, you need to know the size of your head, so that you can easily find the right hat, without having to randomly try on a huge number of products. But in case the size is not known, going for a hat, you should make some measurements and find out it.

We'll take a closer look at how it is easier to do this, as well as many other aspects related to the size of the caps.

How to determine the size of hats by age?

You can resort to the standard definition of the size of hats according to age, but, as a rule, this method is only applicable to children, since the sizes of adults are too non-standard and different, regardless of age.

For example, for newborns whose height varies between 46 - 54 cm, the head circumference will be approximately 35 cm, and the size of the hat will correspond to the measurements.

We have provided more detailed information on children of all ages in the table with measurements, for ease of consideration and a more understandable study.

Child's age	Height (cm)	Head circumference (cm)	Cap size
3 months	55 – 63	40	40
6 months	63 – 69	44	44
9 months	69 – 74	46	46
12 months	74 – 81	47	47
1.5 years	81 – 88	48	48
2 years	88 – 92	49	49
3 years	92 – 98	50	50
4 years	98 – 105	51	51
5 years	105 – 111	52	52
6 years	111 – 116	53	53
7 years	116 – 123	54	54
8 years	123 – 128	55	55
9 years	128 – 135	56	56
10 years	135 – 141	56	56
11 years	141 – 147	57	56 – 57
12 years	147 – 153	58	56 - 58

It is worth repeating once again that such a system is applicable only to a child's head.But it is worth considering the individual parameters, since the development of some children may occur faster or, conversely, slower. For reliability, it is still worth making measurements.

If there is a desire to please the child with a hat tied with his own hand, you should familiarize yourself with the materials presented in this video, with which you can easily comply with the size of the headgear.

International Size Chart

To determine the required size of the headgear, it is necessary to compare the data obtained with a special table designed for an adult.

The European size system is designated by the Latin letters XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL. Each of the letters corresponds to certain parameters, which are indicated in the size chart below.

The size	XS	S	S	M	M	L	XL	XXL
The size	6	6.8	6.9	7.1	7.2	7.3	7.4	7.6
Head circumference (cm)	50.8	55.2	55.6	57.8	58.1	60.6	62.9	63

Some sizes have a double meaning, since the parameters are not so strict as to be driven into the strictest limits. The parameters have too little discrepancy in values, so there is no point or need to divide them into different sizes.

It is also worth knowing that the sizes for men and women are the same when it comes to hats. The thing is that the structure of the upper part of the skull is the same for all people, so the girth of the head will depend only on the individual characteristics of the human body.

Dimensional chart of popular brands

Dimensional grids of different brands may differ slightly from each other, so you should be more careful about each of them, especially if the product is purchased without preliminary fitting.

For example, Kerry brand, based on the production and sale of children's clothing, has a simplified size chart.

Kerry
Age, years	Size in centimeters
0 – 1	46
1 – 2	48
2 – 3	50
4 – 5	52
5 – 7	54
7 – 10	56

One more Huppa brand, based on the production of children's clothing, has an international dimensional grid.

Huppa
The size	39/41	43/45	47/49	51/53	55/57	57/59
Marking	XXS	XS	S	M	L	XL
Age	0 - 6 months	9 - 12 months	1 - 2 years.	36 years.	7 - 10 years old.	11 - 12 years old.

Hats brand Kivat have a slightly different dimensional grid, where the designations are normative, applicable only to clothing from this manufacturer. In addition, the dimensions are determined not only based on the parameters and girth of the head, but also from the model of the hat itself.

Kivat

But there are brands with a much simpler size chart, for example Lassie, where the head circumference in centimeters is the designation of the required hat size.

Nuances of choice

Sometimes taking measurements and comparing them with tabular data is not enough.

If the obtained measurements are on the border of two sizes, it is necessary to choose a hat by trying on.

It should be borne in mind that the product should not press, as this can cause headaches, but it should not be too large, since the hat will slide off this way, which will also cause some discomfort.

It is also necessary to take into account the depth of the cap, since with a product that is too deep, the problem is quite solvable - you just have to bend it, creating a lapel that is popular this season. But a hat with a shallow depth will no longer be so functional, since it will slide out and there will be a need to constantly correct it.
