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 fit, the range of which is unusually large.

Of course, it is very important to choose a hat that matches the type of person that helps conceal flaws. But an equally important task is the selection of 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 resorting to randomly trying on a huge number of products. But in case the size is not known, going for a hat, some measurements should be made and recognized.

How easier it is to do this, as well as many other aspects related to the size of the caps, we will consider in more detail.

How to determine the size of the caps by age?

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

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

More detailed information on children of all ages we have given in the table with measurements, for ease of viewing and more understandable study.

Child 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 individual parameters, since the development of some children can occur faster or, conversely, slower.For reliability, it is still worth making measurements.

If you want to please the child with a hat that is connected with your own hand, you should familiarize yourself with the materials presented in this video, with which you can easily observe the size of the headgear.

International Size Chart

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

The European system of sizes 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 dimensional table 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, because the parameters are not so strict as to drive them into the strictest frames. The parameters have too little discrepancy in the values, so there is no sense and 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 grid of popular brands

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

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

Kerry
Age in 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 brandbased 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 to 10 years.	11 to 12 years old.

Hats Kivat brand have a slightly different dimensional grid, where the designations are normative, applicable only to clothes of this manufacturer. In addition, the sizes are determined not only on the basis of the parameters and head circumference, but also from the model of the cap itself.

Kivat
Hats, berets and visors
0	1	2	3	4	5
0 - 1 year	1 - 2 years	25 years	5 to 15 years	More than 15 years	-
Bottom helmet

0 - 1 year	1 - 2 years	2 - 3 years	36 years	6 to 10 years	More than 10 years

Hat - wool helmet

0 - 1 year	1 - 2 years	25 years	5 to 10 years	10 - 15 years	More than 15 years
Hats for newborns

Caps
1	2	3	4	-	-
0 - 1 year	15 years	5 to 10 years	More than 10 years	-	-

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

The nuances of choice

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

If the measurements obtained are at the border of two sizes, you must select a cap by fitting.

It should be borne in mind that the product should not press, because this can cause headaches, but should not be too large, since the hat will move out, which will also cause some discomfort.

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