What Youāll Need
Grab a flexible measuring tape. If you donāt have one, a piece of string and a ruler will do the trick.
Step 1: Measure Where the Hat Will Sit
Wrap the measuring tape (or string) around your head, positioning it just above your ears and about a fingerās width above your eyebrows. This is where your Akubra will naturally sit.
Make sure the tape is level all the way around and sits firmlyābut not too tight. You want a comfortable fit, not a squeeze.
Step 2: Record Your Size
Take note of the measurement in centimetres. If you're using a string, simply mark where the ends meet, then lay it flat against a ruler.
Step 3: Choose the Right Size
If your measurement falls between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort. Akubra hats are designed to mold to your head over timeāso a slightly looser fit is ideal, especially as natural factors like heat and sweat can cause the hat to shrink a little.
