In the cold season it is more important than ever to keep your head warm to protect your health from the harmful effects of extreme cold. For such purposes, stylish hats may be suitable, the range of which is unusually large.

Of course, it is very important to choose a hat that matches the type of person that helps conceal flaws. But no less important is the selection of a product that fits in size.

To choose the right product you need to know the size of your head, so that you can easily find the right hat without resorting to random fitting of a huge number of products. But in case the size is not known, going after the cap, you should take some measurements and get to know it.

How easier to do this, as well as many other aspects related to the size of the caps, we consider in more detail.

How to determine the size of caps by age?

You can resort to the standard definition of the size of caps in accordance with age, but, as a rule, this method is applicable only to children, since the size of adults is too non-standard and different, regardless of age.

For example, in newborns whose growth varies between 46 and 54 cm, the head circumference will be approximately 35 cm, and the size of the cap will correspond to the measurements.

We gave more detailed information on children of all ages in the table with measurements, for ease of review and more understandable study.

Child's age	Height (cm)	Head circumference (cm)	Cap size
3 months	55 – 63	40	40
6 months	63 – 69	44	44
9 months	69 – 74	46	46
12 months	74 – 81	47	47
1.5 years	81 – 88	48	48
2 years	88 – 92	49	49
3 years	92 – 98	50	50
4 years	98 – 105	51	51
5 years	105 – 111	52	52
6 years	111 – 116	53	53
7 years	116 – 123	54	54
8 years	123 – 128	55	55
9 years	128 – 135	56	56
10 years	135 – 141	56	56
11 years	141 – 147	57	56 – 57
12 years	147 – 153	58	56 - 58

It is worth repeating once again that such a system is applicable only for children's heads. But it is necessary to take into account individual parameters, since the development of some children may occur faster or, conversely, more slowly. For reliability, however, it is worth making measurements.

In case there is a desire to please the child with a hat connected with his own hand, you should familiarize yourself with the materials presented in this video, with which you can easily keep the size of the headdress.

International table

To determine the required size of headgear, it is necessary to compare the data with a special table designed for an adult.

The European system of dimensions has the designation in Latin letters XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL. Each of the letters corresponds to certain parameters, which are indicated in the dimension table below.

The size	XS	S	S	M	M	L	XL	XXL
The size	6	6.8	6.9	7.1	7.2	7.3	7.4	7.6
Head circumference (cm)	50.8	55.2	55.6	57.8	58.1	60.6	62.9	63

Some sizes have a double meaning, since the parameters are not so strict as to drive them into the strictest limits. The parameters have too small a discrepancy in the values; therefore, there is no sense and necessity to divide them into different sizes.

It is also worth knowing that the sizes for men and women are the same when it comes to hats. The fact is that the structure of the upper part of the skull is the same for all people, so the head circumference will depend only on the individual characteristics of the human body.

Size chart of popular brands

Dimensional grids of different brands may differ slightly from each other, so you should be more attentive to each of them, especially if the product is purchased without first fitting.

For example, Kerry brandbased on the production and sale of children's clothing, has a simplified size chart.

Kerry
Age, in years	Size, in centimeters
0 – 1	46
1 – 2	48
2 – 3	50
4 – 5	52
5 – 7	54
7 – 10	56

One more brand huppabased on the production of children's clothing, has an international dimensional grid.

Huppa
The size	39/41	43/45	47/49	51/53	55/57	57/59
Marking	XXS	XS	S	M	L	XL
Age	0 - 6 months	9 - 12 months	1 - 2 years.	36 years.	7 - 10 years.	11 - 12 years.

Caps Kivat brand have a slightly different dimensional grid, where designations are normative, applicable only for clothes of this manufacturer. In addition, the dimensions are determined not only on the basis of parameters and girth of the head, but also from the model of the cap itself.

Kivat
Caps, beret and visors
0	1	2	3	4	5
0 - 1 year	1 - 2 years	25 years	5 - 15 years	More than 15 years	-
Lower helmet

Caps

0 - 1 year	15 years	5 - 10 years	More than 10 years	-	-

But there are brands with a much simpler dimensional grid, for example Lassie, where the head circumference in centimeters is the designation of the required size of the cap.

The nuances of choice

Sometimes taking measurements and comparing them with tabular data is not enough.

If the obtained measurements are on the border of two sizes, it is necessary to choose a cap by fitting.

It should be borne in mind that the product should not crush, because it can cause headaches, but it should not be unnecessarily large, since the cap will move down so that it will also cause some discomfort.

It is also necessary to take into account the depth of the cap, since the problem is completely solvable with a product that is too deep - you just need to bend it, creating a top which is popular this season. But a hat with a small depth will no longer be as functional as it will move down and there will be a need to constantly correct it.
