Buying hats, buyers are faced with the fact that they are not at all guided by their sizes. The choice of this or that hat is made after several fittings. But there are times when you need to know the size of the hat when buying.

Choosing a headdress for a child

Hats are always present in a child's wardrobe. A seasonal collection of hats will be needed immediately after the birth of the baby. To purchase them, you can not do without knowing the exact size of the cap. When buying hats for adults, you can simply pick them up by trying them on. Children's clothing, especially for infants, is purchased according to their size. In order not to make a mistake in choosing, one should also take into account the fact that the baby is growing rapidly.

Head sizes also change. A new purchase must be made every six months. Demi-season and fur hats get a little larger.

How can I determine the size of the cap?

When going shopping for clothes for a child, you need to know the following data: age, height and head circumference. Correspondence of these parameters in children individually. Main characteristicwhen choosing a hat, this is the girth of the head.

It's easy to spot. You can measure the child's head with a centimeter tape. If the centimeter is missing, a dense, non-stretching thread and a ruler can be used for this purpose. Measurements are carried out by making a girth of the head. A centimeter tape is applied in front in the middle of the frontal part and then in the back, along the most convex occipital part. If measurements are taken with a thread, then its length after entwining the head is measured with a ruler. The resulting number is the desired cap size.

To decide on the purchase of a headdress, you can use the existing information on clothing parameters. The children's hat size chart includes data that can be compared with the measurements of a child. This source has information about the correspondence of age, height and head girth. The last parameter is given in centimeters.

How to use size matching information?

After measuring the circumference of the baby's head, you can easily determine the size of the cap from the table. However, you do not need to blindly follow the recommendations given in the table. Despite the fact that the information collected in the source is based on the practice of real purchases, in each individual case it is necessary to correct the data. Each child is individual. The resulting measurements should be rounded. If, for example, the baby is one and a half years old, and the girth of the head is forty-eight and a half centimeters, then the forty-ninth is chosen in the tablethe size. Parameters are rounded up.

Determining the size of caps for adults

Clothing is a product of a huge and complex assortment. Hats can be grouped according to certain criteria. Men's, women's and children's hats for different age groups are made from all kinds of materials.

The seasonal factor also affects the range of this type of clothing. Also, hats are divided by purpose and shape. However, size remains the most important parameter. It is determined in the same way as for children's clothing. In order to determine more accurate and correct sizes of women's and men's hats, additional head measurements are taken. In addition to girth, measure the line of the longitudinal arc. This is the distance from the superciliary cavities to the protruding occiput. The second additional measurement is the measurement of the transverse line of the head. A centimeter is applied from one temple to another through the crown point. Two extra measurements will help you to more accurately fit an adult headwear.

Having the measurements of the head taken at hand, they are compared with existing information materials, which determine the size of the cap. The table of Russian manufacturers gives parameters in centimeters.

International parameters are denoted by Latin numerals. Many countries measure the circumference of the head in inches and have a specific numbering for hat sizes. Unlike tablesmatching the sizes of children's hats, information materials for women's and men's hats do not have data on height and age. They provide information only about the main size of the cap, which corresponds to the girth of the head. After taking measurements, they are compared with the data given in the table. Comparison is rounded down.
