Hippie Fish Hat Size Guide

Hat Size Guide

The Hippie Fish hat size guide will help you check what size you need to order. Just find a soft tape measure to start.
 
Straw hats can be slightly thicker or thinner with each batch of raffia and the weave of the hat, especially handmade hats like ours which can vary slightly.
 
So hat sizing isn’t an exact science but an accurate measurement of your head is a good start. 
 
We pride ourselves on our customer service so we hope that working with us you will find a perfect fit.
 

 Your Hat Size

* Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string.
 
* Place the tape measure or string on your forehead and measure the circumference about 1/2 ” or 1.5 cm above your ears and your eyebrows about where your hat would sit.
 
If you have another hat that shows the size, you can use that information instead. Or measure the outside of the crown of the hat to double check you measured your hat size correctly.
 
* Check the length of the tape measure or string to determine your size. (if using string, measure against a ruler).
 
* Use the sizes displayed on the hat product description pages on our website to find your perfect fit. Each hat may vary by 1-2 cm.  You can also adjust our straw hats by using the raffia tie around the crown. Therefore, you simply tie it tighter for a smaller size.
 
*If you fall in between sizes, choose the next biggest size and adjust using the raffia tie. We do not offer inner size tape but you can add this yourself at home.
 

What Is The Average Hat Size For Women?

Women’s hat sizes are fairly standard. The average women’s head size measures around 57 cm. 
 
If you are unsure of your hat size the small/medium hat would be the best starting point. The small/medium hat size is made to fit 57 cm + can be adjusted down to 55 cm.
 
If you know you have a slightly larger head go with the 59 cm size. As many people are asking us for 60+ sizes we will be making some larger styles. Message us if this is the case for you and we will see what we have available for  you. 
 
As far as Hippie Fish sizing goes this is a medium/large, made to fit a 59 cm head size + then can be adjusted down to 57 cm.
 
For women who feel they have a slightly smaller head than normal we recommend messaging us to see what we have available and if its possible that the hat can be sized down to 53 cm. In select styles we offer kids sizing which may be the solution.
