Frequent Question: How Is a Fedora Hat Supposed to Fit?
Contents

The hat should fit snugly, but not so snugly that it leaves a red mark on your skin. Remember, a properly fitted hat should rest approximately a finger’s width above your eyebrows and ears. Keep the back brim of your fedora tilted up. The front brim can either be tilted up or left straight.

How should a hat sit on your head?

A well-fitting baseball cap should sit comfortably above your ears with the bill resting in the middle of your forehead. The crown of the baseball cap should top your head, leaving a little space between your head and the cap.

What size Fedora should I get?

To Determine Hat Size, use a tape measure. Measure around the circumference of your head using the tape measure. The measurement should be taken at the widest point of the head slightly above the ears. If your measurement falls between sizes order one size up.
