What is my hat size​? A quick guide to Flexfit® hat size chart

Hat size chart

The right hat does more than top off your look. It ensures you feel comfortable, confident, and ready for anything. But here’s the catch: finding the correct hat size can be tricky if you don’t know how sizing works. That’s why Yupoong, Inc. (“Yupoong”) created this comprehensive hat size chart guide to help you measure your head, compare sizes, and select the perfect Flexfit® cap.
Whether you’re shopping for fitted hats, adjustable snapbacks, or stretch-fit styles, the Yupoong® hat size guide will show you exactly how to find your fit.

Why Hat Size Matters

Choosing the right hat size isn’t just about comfort, it also affects style and durability.

  • Comfort: A hat that’s too tight can leave pressure marks, while one that’s too loose can slip off easily.
  • Style: The right fit keeps your crown in place and your visor aligned, ensuring your cap looks sharp from every angle.
  • Longevity: A properly sized hat adapts to your head over time, breaking in naturally without losing shape.

Getting your size right means your baseball cap not only looks good but feels like it was made for you.

How to Measure Your Head for a Hat

Before using the hat size chart, you’ll need to measure your head correctly. Here’s how:

  1. Take a flexible measuring tape (or use a string + ruler if you don’t have measuring tape).
  2. Place the tape about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above your ears, around the widest part of your head.
  3. Wrap it around until it overlaps, keeping it level across the forehead.
  4. Note the circumference in centimetres or inches.

💡 Pro tip:
Measure twice to ensure accuracy.

Now, match your measurement with the chart below.
