When choosing a custom made hat, there are several things to consider so that your new hat will look as good ON you as it looks TO you. Choosing the right hat style for your face shape is very important. Most hat styles tend to look best over a particular shape of face. Of course, some modifications can be made, such as the height of the crown or the width of the brim, in order to provide a better custom fit. The two basic face shapes that you should classify yourself among are regular oval and long oval. Using the photo and information below will help you to understand how to be properly measured for your custom hat. By doing a comparison among styles, proportions and the shape of your face, you'll be much happier in the long run because your hat will fit better and help you to look your best while wearing it.

Place
a cloth or soft plastic measuring tape along the line where
the bottom of the hat's sweatband will sit on your head.
Note in the photo that it is usually more of an angle than
you'd normally expect. Typically, the hat's sweatband will
sit about 1/4" above the top of your ear. Pull the tape
somewhat taught, then allow it to relax about 1/8" to 1/4".
Normally, relax the tape 1/8" for a snug fit and up to 1/4"
for a less tight fit. Consider the conditions under which
your hat will be worn, if you will be riding while wearing
your hat you will need a slightly more snug fit, or you may
be more sensitive to pressure around your head and will need
a more relaxed fit.
