AKUBRA HAT SIZING GUIDE
MEASURING YOUR HEAD SIZE
​
Heads come in all sizes, and in a surprising variety of shapes.
Although Akubra hats are adaptable, and will usually conform to differences in shape with a little wearing, it is essential that the size be correct for your head.
​
TO DETERMINE YOUR HAT SIZE FOLLOW THESE 3 SIMPLE STEPS:
​
-
Measure the circumference around your head - approximately 12mm (1/2") above the ears
-
Keep the dressmaker tape level and firm, across the temple and above the eyebrow ridges.
-
Check the size chart given below.
​
NOTE: For in-between measurements use the next size up.
For an enduring fit with your new Akubra the following points should be considered:
​
-
The Sheepskin inner band of the hat may shrink slightly with use.
Do not expect a tight-fitting hat to 'loosen up'
​
-
In time, the hat will conform to your head shape. Initially, a slightly loose-fitting hat can be adjusted using folded tissue placed behind the inner band, then removed as the hat conforms to your head shape.
