Hat Sizing & Fit Guide

Find the Fit That Feels Right

Hat fit can vary by style, material, and manufacturer, so there is no single measurement that applies to every Wanderfolk hat.

We include specific sizing information on individual product pages whenever it is available.

If you are unsure about a particular hat, contact us before ordering and we will help you figure it out.

Trucker Hats

Most Wanderfolk trucker hats feature an adjustable snapback closure, allowing the fit to be customized within the hat’s available size range.

Fit can still vary slightly between hat styles and manufacturers.

If you already own a hat that fits you well, comparing its shape and fit to the product photos can also help.

Wide-Brim Hats

Our wide-brim hats come from a variety of blanks, and fit can vary slightly by style.

Some materials naturally feel firmer when new and may soften slightly with wear.

Because many wide-brim hats are finished as one-of-a-kind or small-batch pieces, always review the individual product listing for available sizing information before purchasing.

How to Measure Your Head

For the best fit, use a soft measuring tape.

Wrap the tape around your head where you normally wear a hat, generally across the middle of your forehead and around the widest part of the back of your head.

Keep the tape comfortably snug without pulling it tight.

Record the measurement and compare it with any sizing information listed on the product page.

No soft measuring tape?

A piece of string works too. Wrap it around your head, mark where the ends meet, then measure the string with a ruler or measuring tape.

Between Sizes?

Fit preference matters.

Some people prefer a snug hat, while others like a little more room.

If you are between sizes or unsure about a specific wide-brim hat, contact us before ordering. If we have the piece in hand, we can often help with additional measurements or fit information.

Trying Hats at the Wanderfolk Hat Bar

One advantage of shopping Wanderfolk in person is getting to try different hats before choosing yours.

At select markets and events, you can browse Hat Bar styles, try them on, choose your patch, and build your hat right at the booth.

Check our Events page to find the next Wanderfolk stop.
