How to Measure Your Hat Size: Barmah Hats Size Guide
Wearing the wrong size hat isn’t just uncomfortable it can completely change how your hat looks and feels.
At House of Hide, we want your Barmah hat to feel like it was made just for you. Whether you're heading out to the paddock, a festival, or simply running errands, the right fit means all-day comfort, security, and timeless style.
Here’s how to find the perfect fit with our Barmah Hats Size Guide.
🎓 How To Measure Your Head
Getting your hat size right starts with a simple tape measure.
Step 1: Use a flexible fabric measuring tape (a dressmaker’s tape works perfectly).
Step 2: Wrap the tape around the widest part of your head, which is usually just above your eyebrows and about 10mm above your ears. Make sure it's snug but not too tight.
Step 3: Record your head circumference in centimetres.
Now that you have your measurement, it's time to check which size you need.
🎯 Choosing the Right Hat Size
Barmah Hats are crafted in two main materials: leather and canvas. Each has a slightly different fit due to how the materials respond to wear and weather.
Leather Hat Sizing:
| Hat Size | Inner Crown Size |
|---|---|
| Small | 55 cm |
| Medium | 57 cm |
| Large | 59 cm |
| X Large | 61 cm |
| XX Large | 62.5 cm |
Canvas Hat Sizing:
| Hat Size | Inner Crown Size |
| Small | 56.5 cm |
| Medium | 58 cm |
| Large | 59.5 cm |
| X Large | 61 cm |
| XX Large | 62.5 cm |
Tip: For maximum comfort, choose a hat where the inner crown is slightly larger than your head measurement—especially if you’re between sizes or plan to wear your hat in warmer weather (heads can swell slightly in the heat!).
