How to Measure Your Head
- Grab a soft measuring tape or a piece of string (like twine or a shoelace) and a ruler or measuring tool
- Wrap a soft tape or string around your head to measure about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above your ear and about 3/4 to an 1" inch above your brow line (see image)
- Mark the tape or your string, where it intersects, with your finger.
- Record your measurement in inches or centimeters (centimeters is often more accurate)
- If you're using a string, run it along side the ruler as many times as necessary to get a complete measurement
- MEASURE AGAIN!
- Always measure more than once until you get the same number twice
- Find your size in the chart for the perfect fit

I have looked at many women’s hats. I was unable to find one that fit well, was good for sun protection, and was made of good materials. And then I found this sun hat by American Hat Makers!

- SLSharon L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoMakes a great Safari hat.
Bought this hat for Safari and both Zimbabwe and Botswana. We went to Hwange National Park, Chobe National Park and the Savuti portion of Chobe National Park. I even wore it to Victoria Falls as it is referred to as a soaker hat, so I figured that it could take the heavy mist of the falls. Great looking hat that held up well. I even received a lot of compliments on it!
AHAmerican Hat Makers2 months agoHey Sharon L.! Woohoo, 5 stars - thanks a million! We're absolutely thrilled to hear how wonderfully your Soaker hat performed throughout your incredible African adventure! It's fantastic knowing it stood up to everything from safari conditions to the mists of Victoria Falls! Those compliments you received are just the icing on the cake. We truly appreciate you sharing your amazing experience and being part of our hat-loving family! 🤠

- DGDiana G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoI love this hat!
I have always had trouble finding a hat that fits AND looks good on me! I have a smaller head than the average One Size Fits All hat. I bought this hat for hiking as my scalp and ears tend to sunburn, but I knew I needed something more as I've been stuck wearing the unattractive sun hats from REI. REI is great, but not the most fashionable. Amazon has the worst options. I love this hat so much that I've worn it hiking, at outdoor fairs, and on walks on the beach. It gets windy by the water and this hat fits so well that it doesn't get blown off easily. On top of that, I've gotten so many compliments. So happy that I found this company.
AHAmerican Hat Makers1 year agoThank you for your amazing review! Your review made our day, and the photo you shared is the icing on the cake! We're thrilled to have been a part of your positive experience, and we hope to create many more memories together. Enjoy!
