When Purchasing a hat, it is most important to measure your head size correctly. After finding the correct measurement, please use size designation not the measurement in inches.
1) Wrap the ribbon around the back of the head and bring ends around to the front. Pinch the ends together at your forehead.
2) Adjust position of ribbon to trace the exact line that the sweatband of a hat would follow around your head. (Usually lower in the back than in the front).
3) Tighten up ribbon and hold snug by pinching together at front. (You will want the ribbon to be as tight as a snug fitting hat. If ribbon rides up on the back of your head, once tightened, reposition the back half so the it rests lower, and thus will not move up once tightened).
4) Once you have a good fit slide the ribbon off your head while still maintaining your pinch grip Mark lines where the two ends come together.
5) Measure the distance between the two lines and write it down.
6) Repeat the above steps and check your new measurement against the first.
