To calculate hat size: Measure the circumference of your head about 1/2 inch above your ears and eyebrows using a flexible measuring tape. Divide this measurement by 3.14 (π) to get the diameter of your head. Use this number to find the appropriate hat size in a sizing chart. For example, a head circumference of 22 inches divided by 3.14 equals approximately 7, meaning a size 7 hat.
